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.

Access is denied.
This should give you a clue; you are not allowed to write into the target folder.

As you can read in the MSDN documentation available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh967755.aspx[^]:
