Hi ! I'm trying to install a game (a bit older, true) and when the installer starts, I get an error saying that it cannot acces the temp dir (C:\Windows\Temp). I have only one account - Administrator. I tryied the following :
Right click - run as administrator;
XP platform;
in cmd I typed setup.exe -is:tempdir (another dir);
changed the global temp dir from user accounts;
Disabled/Enabled UAC;
from secpol.msc disabled some elevations;
Erm … I think that's about all that I tryied, I'm still geting the same negative response. Any ideas please ? Now its not about the game anymore, its about the situation ^^
Thx in advance !
I tryied with ownership, i get the same result, i tryied creating a new file, it works…i right clicked the windows folder, gave myself full access, right clicked the temp directory, gave mysedlf full access, still havin the same problem. Guess its a bit more complicated than i thought

Check if the folder exists. If not, create it.
Test if you can create a simple file inside the folder. If not, take owner ship by right-click - properties - security- advanced - Owner tab and reset the permissions(you may have to uncheck the inherit permissions option and give everyone full control)
good luck
