Freshly installed MiKTeX doesn't allow me to access its logs #18

Hello there,

I installed MiKTeX as an administrator today. Now it shows me some files but e.g. not the logs. Since I am fighting with it, that is quite a hindrance. In specific, I am talking about the initexmf.log file:

log4cxx: setFile(C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log/initexmf.log,true) call failed.
log4cxx: IO Exception : status code = 720005
log4cxx: No output stream or file set for the appender named [RollingLogFile].

Sorry, but "MiKTeX Configuration Utility" did not succeed for the following reason:

  MiKTeX cannot retrieve attributes for the directory 'C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log'.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

  C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log\initexmf.log

I even started Notepad++ in administrator mode and still it did not allow me to peek into the file. Why is it so strictly protected?
