Can't Generate Symbol File - Read-Only Error

I don't have a previous install of quartus on this pc, but I get around the bug by creating a file of the same name as my intended symbol name (can be an empty file, doesn't matter), then when I create the symbol in quartus it overwrites this file successfully.

Annoying but at least it's not too much effort to get around.
