    Error message

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

    202006 LOENHB The error code is 2503 Message.png

    and after that:

    202006 LOENHB The error code is 2502 Message.png

    Permissions for the folder „Temp“

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

    202006 LOENHB Dialog box Properties from Temp.png

    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.
