Bug Description
Hatch v.0.1.3
When Hatch is installed in Windows, the permissions granted to the file found by default at:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Hatch\
are overly restrictive - read access is not granted to non-administrative users. This prevents the Hatch Native Messenger extension from working correctly with Chrome.
The attached image demonstrates what happens when a non-administrative user attempts to read or access the above file.

I can confirm this behavior. In Windows, I installed Hatch as an Administrator, then created a non-administrative user, opened Chrome, activated Hatch and the background page of the Hatch extension showed "Hatch disconnected: Specified native messaging host not found." After changing permissions on c:\Program Files (x86)\Hatch\ extension\ host\org. evergreen_ ils.hatch. json, I was able to connect to Hatch as expected.
