Make sure you have NTFS write/full control permissions to the game folder and subfolders.

Ascalon will prevail!

An administrator account doesn’t mean you’re always giving administrative privileges. You need to right click Gw2.exe and run it as an administrator. To avoid this, move your Guild Wars 2 folder out of Program Files, which is a protected directory. If that is what you were doing however, then it’s problem with read/write permissions.
