Run as Administrator: Right-click the QuickBooks File Doctor, and select 'Run as administrator'. This can help bypass certain permission issues.
Disable Antivirus Temporarily: Sometimes, antivirus software can interfere with the application. Disable it temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.
