Looks like the Launcher needs Admin access.
Right-click the Launcher (or your shortcut to it) and click Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and check the box by "Run this program as an administrator"
Now when you launch, if UAC is enabled you'll get the yes/no prompt, click Yes, and you should be good to go.
Edit: Oh, and what was your char's name on E`ci?
