The error I am receiving while trying to add the server

I'm new to eclipse and creating dynamic web applications.Whenever I have tried to add a server to run my project, I get the following error:

Could not load the Tomcat server configuration at C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\conf. The configuration may be corrupt or incomplete.

I have also tried to add a server via 'preferences' but the same error pops up and no servers are shown in the server view.

Any way I could properly add the server and run my project?

Use a separately downloaded zip/tar from Apache rather than an installed copy of Tomcat for your Server Runtime. Your regular user likely doesn't have Full permissions over the installed version's directories.
