stderr.txt is a file that should be created in the folder containing the game when you run it. It may contain helpful error messages.

1) go to the Technical Support Forum
2) read the Announcement titled "I have downloaded Wesnoth and it doesn't run - READ ME FIRST"
3) in particular, read the section at the bottom "Problem: Parse error in cfg files on launch "
4) make it a habit to read important announcements in any forum before posting in that forum
5) let us know if it still doesn't run after making a clean install
6) report any broken user content to the campaign author

To make it easier for you this time : one of add-ons you installed recently (or tried to write) is broken. Delete all the add-ons or whole \userdata directory, that will fix things.

And what do you expect us to do with that? Come and fix your windows to usable state? There is few dozen possible reasons for windows blocaking access to file or folder and we have neither time or resources to play Microsoft Support team.
The problem you have with wesnoth is a corrupt add-on, either by being corrupt from the start or getting damaged for some reason afterwards. It's up to you to find out which one is it and get rid of it, if you are unable to do so, remove and reinstall wesnoth. Period.
