I am not sure why you cannot access the log file. It works fine here.
Anyway, I did some more investigating and am 99% sure that the problem
is a corrupted C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64\mkfntmap.exe
file. I have not even been able to delete it. Nor, can I over write
it. I tried. Since that package, "miktex-mkfntmap-bin-x64-29" was only
downloaded and installed this morning, I believe it is corrupt.
