I ran

.\factorio.exe --dump-data

in an elevated powershell and it produced following error:

Error when opening C:\temp\Factorio\script-output\mod-settings-dump.json for writing: Permission denied

What happened was it tried to create folders instead of files in script-output:

When I created the files manually it correctly wrote the dump inside them.

I can reproduce this by deleting the files inside script-output

Well, that's embarrassing. Thanks for the report. It's fixed for real this time for the next release.

[1.1.90] --dump-data command line parameter - Permission denied
