I think that a lot of these sort of problems could be down to where you install the program.
Ever since Windows 7 there have a been a lot of issues if you install FS and its many utilities in the default MS protected install location of 'C:\Program Files (x86)' or 'C:\Program Files'.
There are ways around this but it inevitably means reducing or switching off your UAC settings.
The only sure way to avoid these issues, with any FS proggie, seems to be NOT to install in the default location nor any of the other utilities that you may want to amend things with.
This particular issue seems to have been caused by a utility in a protected folder trying to access/update data in another protected folder. I don't know whether Brian's P3D is installed in the default location but I wouldn't bet against it.
It is such a well known thing but people do still use the default installation folder. I really would recommend against doing that, for FS stuff at least.
