NB many other programs need access to the standard app folder locations in Windows , so if you have locked the whole area you will have other programs to repair.
try a "take ownership" freeware utility on app folder. once you "own it" you should be able to grant yourself write access.
e.g.

I use EC menu from here to give me a right click take ownership option
