In the PC (Windows, 64 bit) registered version of HYSPLIT, while running the 'Display Data', 'Check file' option the following error is encountered

" Error: couldn't write file chkfile.txt......
couldn't write file "chkfile.txt": permission denied
couldn't write file "chkfile.txt": permission denied
while executing
"exec $exec_dir/chk_file <<$input >chkfile.txt"
(procedure "run_chkfile" line 13)
invoked from within
"run_chkfile $gdir $gbase"
invoked from within
".metfile.bot.save invoke"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke]"
(procedure "tk::ButtonUp" line 24)

"tk::ButtonUp .metfile.bot.save"

Can anybody please help me out of this.

From that message, it looks like you do not have permission to write to the working directory of HYSPLIT. Check in the Advanced/Configuration Setup/Set Directories submenu for what is defined as the "Working directory" and make sure you have permission to write there.
