Forged alliance failed to upgrade

[JonCope]

I've been playing this game for a while now with not many issues occurring, it was working fine a few days ago but when I tried to play it again it said "sorry forged alliance forever couldn't complete the upgrade" followed by this log:

Update started at 2014-11-21 20:54:43

any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated thank you.

It's a permissions issue.

Have you run the game or lobby as administrator? If so, you should go through and fix permissions for the folders in C:\ProgramData\FAForever.
