Access to the path 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\IIS Express\\Excel.xlsx' is denied

I'm working on a ASP.NET MVC 5 project. In this project I want user to download an Excel file using this code : 

var workbook = new ExcelFile();
    workbook.Save("Excel.xlsx");

But when I enter the URL to download the Excel file. I get the exception :

Access to the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\Excel.xlsx' is denied.

How can I modify my code so that user can download the Excel file wherever he wants? Instead of IIS Express folder. Thanks.

I know its too late, but in order to access the folder you should run visual studio as admin.

In my opinion you have two options.

1: Chage the permission of the IIS folder/directory.

2: Save the file to Response an let the user choose per SaveFileDialog(try this: Downloading Excel File)
