Ok. I tested it. And I'm now completely sure that you're not running in Administrator mode. I'll give you the steps to solve this problem but first of all where are you running this code from, IDLE, Python or any other IDE? How to run in admin mode depends on where are you running your code from.

(You can also try Eryk's method. The method I used is a temporary workaround while Eryk's is the correct one.)
