It looks like the app is trying to write to a file in the same directory as the 
app. In Windows 7, this is seen as a security risk and is protected against - 
google for User Access Control (UAC) if you want to know more.

For now, as a workaround, you could try running the app in a folder that 
Windows doesn't worry about - such as not under the Program Files folder. 
(Other workarounds which would be more overkill would include running the app 
as an administrator, or disabling UAC). 

Hope this helps

Just a note (for others) - this is happening for me too, but using Windows 
Vista.  I stored the program in the Program Files folder.  I get the same error 
on start-up.  I am resolving by running as admin.
