Comment 1 Mark Hiner 2016-01-07 08:21:38 CST 
Hello,

This "PROTECTED_LOCATION" is because your Fiji is installed in Program Files. This can cause permissions problems with the file modifications necessary for updating.

See http://imagej.net/Install_Fiji_on_Windows for more information. For now the recommended solution is simply to move Fiji.app to a directory outside Program Files (e.g. your user directory).
Comment 2 Curtis Rueden 2016-01-07 08:57:16 CST 
I added a check for this situation:

https://github.com/imagej/imagej-updater/commit/b7b8bb8031657d39e727c41b41deae3d6323a59f

So now, instead of that cryptic error, ImageJ will warn that the installation should be moved out of "C:\Program Files" to somewhere with write access.
