Unfortunately due to the complexity of this type of error and configuration [@James Delfiso](http://community.wowza.com/community/questions/50394/while-creating-wowza-project-cprogram-files-x86wow.html#), tech support has requested a support ticket in order to have a better understanding of what has caused this. They’ll need to have full access to your logs and config files.
[https://www.wowza.com/support/open-ticket](https://www.wowza.com/support/open-ticket)
I can tell you that a top Wowza engineer did check into into and said it seems to point to permissions issues or corrupt shared resources. Would probably have to reboot and then delete the corrupt file from outside of Eclipse.
But, again, they need more access in a ticket to accurately diagnose.

Run ECLIPSE as Administrator. The current user doesn’t have write access to the Program Files (X86) Directory.
