The error is occurring when Nmap tries to open a raw socket, which it
shouldn't do on Windows. Normally Nmap uses raw Ethernet sends because
Windows doesn't support raw sockets. Try using the --send-eth option.

What version of Windows is this? What kind of network device do you use?
Is it Ethernet or something else?
