Execution of Alan Wake in PC leads to File IO error

Execution of Alan Wake in PC leads to File IO error
I downloaded Alan Wake from Steam downloads. I installed it in my PC. As I executed the game an error message popped up saying “File IO failure: createDirectoryFailed, error code 5”. What is it? Can anybody help me. I checked the data on Steam Downloads and there seems to be no problem with the data on my PC.

Re: Execution of Alan Wake in PC leads to File IO error
This problem occurs when one uses SSD drive on computer.
I use SSD drive for Windows. In this case, the ‘My Documents’ folder is located on drive F. You can use folder properties to point the direction of data on another drive or another computer in network. If your game files are available in some another folder, you can target the folder containing its execution file to that folder.
This does run the game properly.
