EasyPHP cannot modify hosts file

Question

I am using the Virtual Hosts Manager module to add a virtual host so I can access my local site on the browser like so: http://mysite.local/. But I am getting this message:

Unfortunately, you do not have rights to create a Virtual Host. You must have write permissions on the file: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

$Unfortunately, you do not have rights to create a Virtual Host. You must have write permissions on the file: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts$

I have

Given the hosts full access to my user, System and even Everyone
Run EasyPHP executable as Admin

But I still keep getting this message. Any suggestions?

Oddly giving Users (ComputerName\Users) write permissions fixed this issue!

$Write permissions for Users (ComputerName\Users)$
