Exception during start when config not readable

[zapbot]

When the configuration files are not accessible, ZAP won't start and throws an exception
instead of returning a error message with hints on how to fix... (Has to be fixed by
the user)

I am not a Windows user, the guy who told me about this issue said that he installed
ZAP using the "Run as Administrator" feature...

Does this happen for all users who install ZAP using "Run as Administrator"?
