Why Opencover with MSTest does not execute and says "access is denied"?

I am using open cover with MSTest. I am a new users and trying to get hang of Opencover. I have tried with MSTest and MSTest is working fine with my new project in Vs2010. When I am executing following test using MStest it is working fine:

Command line run of MS Test : 

MSTest /testmetadata:VoterDetails.vsmdi /testlist:DOBTest

Result:

C:\Users\<<MYuserName>>\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\VoterDetails>
MSTest /testmetadata:VoterDetails.vsmdi /testlist:DOBTest

How will MSTEST know where to find VoterDetails.vsmdi when you are running in the wrong folder; try running from OpenCover from

C:\Users\<<MYuserName>>\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\VoterDetails

i.e.

C:\Users\<<MyUserName>>\AppData\Local\Apps\OpenCover>OpenCover.Console.exe -register:user ...

also -arch:32 is not a valid option for OpenCover
