Could not write file

I have downloaded and tried to install the launcher several times now. Each time I double-click on the desktop launcher, it displays a dialog asking if I want to migrate my old client settings. I select "No". It then brings up a "Could not write file" dialog indicating that either there is another EVE client running (there isn't) or the file permissions may not be correct. I click "Yes" to have the launcher attempt to fix the permissions for the shared cache folder and it ends up displaying the same "Could not write file" dialog again. Eventually I click "Ignore" and the dialog goes away but on the bottom of the launcher screen it shows "Error! See Log for details 0.0%".

What file permissions is it trying to set? My SharedCache folder is completely empty.

What log file is it referring to at the bottom of the launcher screen? The only log file that I see is the InstallationLog.txt file which I have pasted below.

I almost forgot to mention ... I am running Windows 7 and am the only user id on this computer.
