It works fine for me on windows 7 64-bit. Did you run it as an administrator?

Are you sure it's actually a u8 archive? You'll get that error when you try to unpack the DOL or NANDLoader.

If it doesn't work, try it as an admin. If it still errors, try using u8it (if you can find it). It's basically a much faster, less buggy, command-line version of u8tool.

There's also U8Mii and Ultimate U8, which are also far less buggy and non-command line. Find them at http://showmiiwads.googlecode.com/ under downloads. They're part of the Wii.cs tools.
