    1) Which version

    2) clear your temp files using CCleaner then reboot

    3) Try again

    I use v5.2.0.14

    Windows 8.X constantly has issues with fouled up file and folder permissions. If you are not set up as an Administrator and disabled UAC, do both of those things as well. Also, just for good measure, boot Windows with DSE disabled, then try again. If the error persists at that point, take ownership of all files and folders (including system files and folders) on all of your drives. That's what I do and I seldom have issues with Windows 8.X messed up security crap.
