Temp Folder Invalid
but suddenly many applications in my computer can't start. For example Chrome Portable shows this error on execution: NSIS Error Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid Many other applications just show a Windows error reporting on execution. Fortunately I had created a Norton Ghost image from the C drive four months ago (when I had absolutely no problem), but after a successful Windows restore, the problem is still the same! Google Chrome is still showing the error failed to determine valid temporary file folder anyconnect windows above and the other programs still can't be executed. I searched whole internet for the reason. Most say it's a problem with the %Temp% folder permissions. I took ownership of the folder, set Temp folder owner to "Administrator or the current user", full access for "Admin" and "current user" and "Users" profile, but still it's the same! I have also done these to C:\windows\Temp folder. I even cant execute "Process Monitor" to monitor the problem! I even changed both %Temp% and C:\windows\Temp folders paths to c:\Temp but the problem is the same. It seems many programs can't write files in Temp folder, but I see "Firefox Portable" can do that! Specs: Win 7 32bit Ultimate SP1 I installed a new fresh windows 7 yesterday, but the problem is still there! i found something interesting: If i move Chrome Portable directory to upper roots of F drive, the program will start normally!! it seemes that windows has problems with specific paths, for example most of the applications on F:\programs\Install on my computer cant access Temp and result in error. i checked Permissions on F and Install folder, everything is just like other drives. some said use ICACLS F:\ /setintegritylevel H but it does not change anything. for now, the only way to get ride of this problem is to downgrade to Win XP so no Permissions and other damn security stuff won't work. please help me out of this headache. windows-7 windows permissions cras

(also you may get an Open File Security Warning). You may have tried any or none of the following to alleviate the problem: EDIT: Run the program as administrator by right-clicking and choosing "Run as administrator". The program still shows the same error message. Copy the installer to your desktop after which http://superuser.com/questions/655630/temp-folder-is-not-writeable-for-some-applications-resulting-app-crashes the program is setup correctly. Enable User Account Control, allow the installer to make changes to your computer and the program is setup correctly. Backup your data, format the partition the executable resides in, restore the data and lo and behold, the program is setup correctly. It took me a while to figure this out (about 3 goddamn years), but I finally know what causes https://insectophobia.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/error-writing-temporary-file-make-sure-your-temp-folder-is-valid/ the problem. In my case it was because I had put the installer in my Favorites folder or one of its subfolders and because I had disabled UAC (User Account Control). Bottom line is, and this is most likely due to security measures on Microsoft's part, that: Any executable with C:\Users\
