Interesting. Running an administrator shell works! The odd thing is that 
I logged in as the user Administrator, the local user Administrator. I 
assume it has administrator rights but I know that there are 
administrator rights and then there are administrator rights. So it 
seems the problem lies between the two. How to debug this further and 
fix it?
