Hi Jacob,
Is it possible that you previously launched the BI Platform Support Tool by clicking "Run As Administrator"? But in this case, you are just running the tool as your normal windows user account? You should never have to start the BIPST client using 'Run As Administrator'.

If you browse to C:\Program File\BISupport\bin\htm and right click on AlertSummary_2017.09.19_12.31.27.html and choose properties, then Details tab, who is the file Owner? Is this the same account that you are currently running the BIPST client as? If you click on the security tab, what is the permissions for the Users group for this file? (For example Read, Read & Execute, etc)

You could try to set read/write permissions on the htm folder. Right click on C:\Program File\BISupport\bin\htm folder, choose security then click Advanced. Click Add and click "select a principal" and add your user account then grant full control. Then check the box "Replace all child object permission entries" and click ok.

Then try to view the report again.

Will look forward to your response.

Thanks
