Cannot create temporary folder for extracting installation

Usually my Vista's UAC settings are on by default.

I have found that the Setup.exe that generated by InstallAware is unable to perform installation after Vista UAC is off.

The error is:
InstallAware Wizard
Cannot create temporary folder for extracting installation
[Ok]

Any helps
Thanks in advance.

Of course not. Maybe your TEMP environment variable is missing or points to an invalid folder.

Hi Candice,

Thanks for your kindly reply.

I have checked that:

The TEMP environment does exist.

The only difference is that I turn off the Vista UAC and run the setup again.

The setup.exe is stored located inside the IE7 cache folder.

I am using FileMon tool to diagnose this problem...
Will post here once I get any findings.

Just wonder if anyone have similar experience.
