Reported by Gordon Myers.
This was with Java 1.7.0_55 on Windows. Another Windows (7 or 8) user reported this.

I take the comment on the StackOverflow page:
It's a known Java bug, still around on Windows 10 and update 112. Just run the program once from an elevated command prompt and it goes away.
to mean: run the program as administrator (right-click the program and Run as Administrator...").
Can someone confirm?
