Hi Aranwela, Thanks for the report. I do think this is a permissions problem. That's not to say it's not a real problem, just that it should be solvable. I just tested this by resetting the "update level" in config/current.dat, and forcing the updater to run. It worked fine to download and install the update. That was on a Mac running Windows 7 (64 bit) as a virtual machine. The account I used does have full Administrator control.
The process running the updater definitely needs to be be able to write to C:\Program Files\Ifeffit (or wherever you installed to). Would you be willing to try to download the update zip file (say, iff_013.zip) and unzip it into your installation directory, as described at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/IfeffitOnWindows/WinUpdater and let us know what does and doesn't work? I'm sure that others would find your report helpful.
