Seeing that error message in the first and last posts, I'm inclined to think that your administrative rights have been compromised, at least within Nexon/MapleStory, either directories.
I don't think minor patches come with their own manual patcher - otherwise, I'd suggest try running that as an admin.
I believe that's Windows 7, so I can't exactly help - haven't used 7 in a long time. Nonetheless, if I were having problems with my account not supplying admin rights, I'd try to modify permissions on the parent directory:
1. Right-click the directory, select Properties, and go to the Security tab.
2. Click Edit and make sure your account (and the admin account) both have all permissions to the directory. (Although, I think your own account doesn't need all permissions so long as it inherits permissions from the admin account.)
3. If settings appear as they are, you may need to click the Advanced button in the Security tab to do advanced security editing. Make sure your account and the admin account are allowed access and that access is either full control or at least read and execute. If somehow your account is missing, add it - your principal will be your user name, not your account name. I think these may be the same in Windows 7, but in 8+, they're separate. If you click "Check Names" and no error pops up, your user name should now be prefixed with the computer's name (the domain) as such: Computer\UserName. Then you may add the permissions as you see fit. Also, you may want to change what the permissions apply to - "Applies to: This folder, subfolders and files".
Hopefully that fixes it...otherwise, there's the event log viewer if that doesn't help. More info may be found on what is causing the write to fail.
