This is almost the same (if not exactly the same) as #6570 -- isn't it?
(could be closed as a Duplicate, if that is the case)
Also; not enough information. (See #6562 for comparison)

Geez. We should not be writing to program files.... AT ALL. That is locked down by default. If you are running in portable, do not place it in program files folder. Portable version needs to run in a writable folder. Non portable writes to user profile folder.
