Answer 1

It seems that your current user is not having rights on the tomcat folder.

I also faced the same problem and solved it by giving rights to the logged in user on the tomcat folder.

For your case :

Go to >>"C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationTomcat 7.0" folder Right Click>>Properties>>security Tab

provide required rights to currently logged in user.
