Get Assets Folder and create a Folder in Assets Folder and create a file in create Folder using windows 8

Question

StorageFolder InstallationFolder = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;
StorageFile file = await InstallationFolder.CreateFileAsync("MyDocument.Txt", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
await FileIO.WriteTextAsync(file, "Hello");

The error is:

An exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.
