Error starting Tc server in STS 2.7

So I started learning Spring MVC by example using the Spring MVC Showcase. I downloaded STS and cloned the GIT repo to get the local copy of the code. I loaded the Maven project and built it successfully.

When I tried to start the VMware vFabric tc Server Developer Edition 2.5 I got the following exception:
Publishing the configuration...
Error copying file to C:/Program Files/springsource/vfabric-tc-server-developer-2.5.0.RELEASE/spring-insight-instance/backup\catalina.policy: C:\Program Files\springsource\vfabric-tc-server-developer-2.5.0.RELEASE\spring-insight-instance\conf\catalina.policy (The system cannot find the path specified)

Solution

I'm running 64-bit version of STS on Windows 7. By default programs don't use the Admin account. It was enough to run the STS as Admin (Right click on shortcut -> "Run as Administrator").
That's it! Simple, isn't it? :)

Great help !! Spring Tool Suite and Maven keeps showing different errors and error was something different, file system access error.

Thanks Techies..
