I recently transitioned not only from MediaWiki to XWiki, but an older computer running Windows Vista (Ultimate x64) to my present PC, operating on Windows 7 (Ultimate x64).

The MS-DOS Prompt reads as such while in the Admin-account...

This means that the user which has started the JVM doesn't have write access to the location where the xwiki.log file is saved. You need to give the permission. You can also configure the location of the xwiki log file if you want (by default it's located in the directory where the JVM is started). [snip] Thanks -Vincent
