Hi Greg,

I didn't have this error on Windows (and are on Mac since some months 
now) I would at first suggest that you move the htdocs out of the 
"Program Files" directory. I know windows does some magic there with its 
User Account Control. Just put it somewhere near to "root" like 
C:\dev\htdocs or something.
Second check if they have the "write protection" flag activated (which 
could be caused becaues being in "Program Files".
Also check if you run any search indexing software like Windows Search 
or Google Desktop Search or something, if so exclude the htdocs from 
indexing to prevent this software to have the file open. Generally you 
want to avoid that any software tries to access the files in htdocs 
while flow3 is running. So just in case I would also exclude the folder 
from your virus protection and see if that helps. Windows is very strict 
in regards to files opened by some software. I think there are some free 
tools out to check what processes keep a file open, but maybe that is 
not needed and some of the tips help already.

Cheers,
Christian
