Trying to add an image to a Report Designer layout produces a save error, even though the image path has been set correctly according to the documentation.

Answer

Confirm the folder where Report Designer itself is installed is genuinely writable for the currently logged-in Windows user, checking that neither the folder nor its files are marked read-only. Separately, confirm the folder where the report layout file itself is being saved has the same writable permissions. A save error when adding an image commonly traces back to insufficient filesystem write permissions on one of these two specific locations, rather than an actual Report Designer bug or a genuinely incorrect image path setting.
