Default Installing EQ2Map Updater Using Windows 8

I have recently moved from Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 8 Pro 64-bit operating system. I did a clean install so I am trying to re-install the EQ2 Map Updater on my computer. I already have EQ2 installed and running fine.

I've read through all of the forums and the install instructions. I don't see anything that helps in my particular situation and was wondering if someone might be able to help me. I'm still trying to learn Windows 8, but the install process seemed pretty straightforward so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

I'm installing the latest EQ2MAP Updater 1.2.10
I've extracted the zip files and run the setup.exe file.

The installer wizard starts up and confirms I have the right .NET framework version.

It then gives me the following error:

Error opening file for writing:

C:\Program Files(x86)\EQ2 Map Updater\EQ2MAP_Updater.exe

Click Abort to stop the installation,
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip this file.

I'm not much of a techie, I believe I turned off my AV prior to the install but may be doing something wrong.

Anyone out there able to give me a hand?

Appreciate any help you might be able to give. I'm at a loss as to why the installer wouldn't be able to open and write the file.
