I've created a basic Latex document based on an example I found online:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}
Field Name:&FIRST_FIELD
\end{tabular}
\begin{tabular}
Field Name:&SECOND_FIELD
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
I installed the latest version of MikTex for Windows but every time I run it and select 'pdfLatex' from the drop-down and hit the green play button I get this message:
Sorry, but "MiKTeX Configuration Utility" did not succeed.
The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:
C:/Users/jonc/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/initexmf.log
You may want to visit the MiKTeX project page (http://miktex.org), if you need help.
Sorry, but C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\miktex-pdftex.exe did not succeed.

That first log suggests there's a permissions error but I've not idea what file it has a problem with:

What am I missing?
