That message sounds like the editor is making a best guess as to what the problem might be. It certainly doesn't look like a Windows error message.
The Windows Installer package for Jenkins installs to C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) by default which is a read-only filesystem unless you are an Administrator. We installed to a non-default location and our Jenkins directory is still only writable by the Administrators group and SYSTEM user. If you are not an Administrator on the system then you might consider checking the permissions to make sure you do have write access to the file.
