How are you accessing the program because I couldn't see its icon on your desktop.
Have you tried running the program in Safe Mode with Networking - this will isolate your antivirus and all other 3rd party programs.

funny thing. After I get the permissions error message, the icon changes on the desktop and repair_windows.exe disappears. Will uninstall and reboot into safe mode with networking to install again. Did notice in windows C:users\jchppc\install of tweak with the executable repairs_windows in it even after uninstall. Deleted all traces of Tweak on C:

Did install in safe mode. After getting the message about permissions the executable disappeared. The icon does show running in windows8 compatibility. Next steps is to go to microsoft as suggested.
Boggin:
So are you getting similar problems when you run the program in Safe Mode with Networking ?
If you are, then that would eliminate AVG as the cause.
jcarra8963:
AVG? I only use the driver update, not the virus and system maintenance part of AVG. I have PCMatic as my virus and system maint software. BTW, Microsoft didn't help. Also, why is the icon executable and actual executable, Reapir_windows.exe, disappears after the error??????? When first installed, all is there in the folder but is gone after the message.
