WindowsError [error 5] Access is denied

I solved a similar problem I had by switching to the process directory (I was trying to use inkscape) and it solved my problem

import subprocess
inkscape_dir=r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape"
assert os.path.isdir(inkscape_dir)
os.chdir(inkscape_dir)
subprocess.Popen(['inkscape.exe',"-f",fname,"-e",fname_png])

Maybe switching to the process directory will work for you too.
