I compiled a .tex file in TeXworks for Windows 7 that had a graph in it, so I had to install the TikZ library for LateX.

Afterwards, all compilations are failing. The TeXworks console displays

texify.exe: Permission denied: myFile.log
texify.exe: Data: myFile.log

Strangely, I do not have the pdf document open in other programs such as Adobe Acrobat. I tried closing and reopening TeXworks to no avail.

How can I grant TeXworks permission to compile my .tex file?

sounds a bit like a problem with your admin account, maybe those logfiles were created when UAC made you admin in the installation process and you ran tex as admin afterwards? have you tried removing them? – Walter Maier-Murdnelch Jan 25 at 3:50
