Error message

When installing/uninstalling programs error messages occurring under Windows 7, 8 or 10:

and after that:

Permissions for the folder „Temp“

Warning:
This should only be used as a temporary workaround because of its impact on security

Probably the Temp folder in the Window directory does not have sufficient permissions.

Before installing/uninstalling, you must then enable the "User" permissions.

To view and change the Temp folder permissions, right-click on the Temp folder and select Properties.

In the "Temp Properties" dialog box, click on the Security tab.

Bei mir waren falsche Sicherheitseinstellungen für c:\windows\temp die Lösung.

Nicht mal System und Administratoren haben Schreibrechte.

Ich habe temporär für die Installation dem User "Jeder" Vollzugriff auf den Ordner gewährt und schon lief die Installation durch.
