Hello Jerry,

I had the same problem on windows 7.
How did I solve this? I went to the windows explorer and selected the 
orbitron directory with the right mouse button and then selected 
"properties"
The entire directory was read only so I couldn't update the kepler data.
Just give it a try.

Good luck!
73,
Eric
