Just as a comment, being admin does not necessarily mean that you can do
anything, only that you can elevate your rights so that you can
eventually do it.  Windows has quite an elaborate system for permissions
(and revocations thereof) in the file system and the point of lots of
those is precisely to restrict was an admin can do by default.

While I still don't understand how this is happening exactly, I've
re-written the functions in question to work off temporary buffers,
which only runs into the problem of non-writability at the very end when
the file is to be saved and should then ask for confirmation.  At that
point it should be possible to see what is going on.

Subject: [PATCH] make functions in org-fixup.el more robust, add full build
 functionality

* UTILITIES/org-fixup.el(org-make-org-version): Use temporary buffer.

* UTILITIES/org-fixup.el(org-make-org-install): Use temporary buffer.

* UTILITIES/org-fixup.el(org-make-autoloads): New function, generates
  autoload files using (org-make-org-version)
  and (org-make-org-install).  Uses (org-fixup) to determine version
  strings.

* UTILITIES/org-fixup.el(org-make-autoloads-compile): New function,
  generates autoload files using (org-make-autoloads) and
  byte-compiles files in lisp.  Optional argument forces
  re-compilation of all files.

* UTILITIES/org-fixup.el(org-fixup): Clean up whitespace and correct the
  unwind form.

I've added functions to make the autoloads and byte-compile without the
use of make for those that may not have it.
