Go to Run (or Win+R)
type cmd and press ENTER
type cd \evo-recovery and press ENTER
type recovery-windows and press ENTER
From this point, recovery should work. Note that you dont need admin access to make it happen but it is recommended (the method above does not use admin).
I did this on my Win7 x64 system with UAC enabled (so no, I'm not running admin by default)

Dude that hilarious, I just signed on to post this exact same thing, although I think you worded it better.
I talked to Meatgel on the phone and walked her through the process.
Had the same issue. I had her type in the .bat file and it worked. I'm going to take your explanation and tweak it a little to add to the tutorial.

Actually, turns out, you're not doing anything wrong. I tried this countless times. I had meatgel try it, and you're reporting the exact same issue.
Here's what's happening...
Problem:
When you rooted your phone, you did not get a Superuser Permission Icon.
Why, I don't know. Once the PC36IMG.zip file ran and you rebooted, you should see the SU Icon in the apps. Your phone is rooted, so it should be there, but it's not. That missing icon causes the error.
Rom manager works fine when you are running it from a custom rom. That's why so many people are reporting success w/ Rom Manager. They already went through the process of rooting and flashing before. They have a rooted rom w/ the SU Icon. Since they just want to flash other roms or radios, they have no need to downgrade or go to stock. They use Rom Manager and it works.
You have the stock rom and I don't remember if you said or not, but I'm guessing that you did the OTA. Meatgel had the stock rom too. She did the OTA and when she rooted, her phone was rooted but she was missing the SU Icon. She downloaded Rom Manager and it failed to install a new rom.
Solution:
Install your 1st custom rom using the manual method. When you get to step #6, if you have trouble double clicking the .bat file, just go to a cmd prompt and type it in.
@winmonewbie - And yes, I'm going to make a video for this.
