Have you tried running Mids as administrator?
Mids' is trying to overwrite the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Titan Network\Mids Hero Designer\Data\patchnotes.rtf with this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Titan Network\Mids Hero Designer\Data\patch.rtf
Delete the 'patchnotes.rtf' in the folder, and rename 'patch.rtf' to 'patchnotes.rtf'. Mids' doesn't bother to check the permissions (it shouldn't have Administrator permissions anyways... it could always set the files to be modifiable by everyone in the Users group, sidestepping the whole issue) before moving the files around, which generates that error.

Yeah, you'll learn that alot of game (and addons) related issues can be somewhat prevented by not letting windows decide where to install stuff. :-p

%PROGRAMFILES% is simply the recommended location just because it makes sense to install all applications in the same parent folder (at least if they're on a single drive)... and polluting the root directory is a Bad Thing (i.e. installing into C:\).In this case, it's an issue of it being developed with the assumption that the user would be running with unlimited privileges, so taking willy-nilly actions in an area that is supposed to be infrequently modified is fine... plus, not bothering to check for errors.

By default windows is coded to install new applications in that directory, but programmers generally just 'go with the flow' to save time/effort as you have no idea how the end user's setup is. Not everybody has multiple drives or multiple partitions. :-p
