The problem is that the user that is running Tomcat lacks file permissions (read/write) in the install folder.

Right-click on the Tomcat folder (apache-tomcat-7.0.29), select "Properties", go to the "Security tab", try to give it full control to any users profile in you pc, just for be sure.

Then, click again to C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\apache-tomcat-7.0.29\bin\startup.bat and wait for self creation of the folders by the application "startup.bat".
