The scratchDir you specified: C:\Windows\system32\........... is unusable.
Looks rather simple; You are not allowed to create or write into this
directory.
Quick check: Please start Geoserver as an administrator. I suspect it would
work.
Please note: There is a difference in Windows7/8 of BEING an administrator
and RUNNING a program as an administrator.
My general recommendation would be: Do not deploy in the 'Program Files ' or
P...(x86)' directory, pull the data directory out of the program and put it
somewhere else without write protection, avoid the use of user or system
directories for anything (logging, properties etc.) as they are
write-protected as well.
Cheers
