    Hi Everyone,

    Whenever I install some new software in my new laptop I get this error:-

    Unable To Execute Files In The Temporary Directory. Setup Aborted. Error 5: Access Is Denied.

    I have tried synchronizing the clocks but it doesn't remove the problem.

    These softwares work on another laptop that i have, which also runs windows 7.

    Can someone please tell me the solution as this is extremely urgent.

    Thanks In Advance.

    -Michael

    explore to the temporary directory,  right click and select security, check that you have permissions to write to that directory.

    I've found the right solution to this problem. The other answers work but they seem like a quick fix rather than actually fixing the actual problem.


    The problem is with the security permissions on your profile temp folder. To fix it navigate to %temp% or C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local and right click on the Temp folder and choose properties, then click the security tab and click advanced.


    On the permissions tab you should see the permissions that are there. There should 3 which are:

    'SYSTEM' with Full control which applies to 'This folder, subfolders and files'

    'Administrators' with Full control which applies to 'This folder, subfolders and files'

    'Your Username' with Full control which applies to 'This folder, subfolders and files'


    and all 3 should be inherited from the C:\Users\[Username]\ folder.

    If you don't have the 'Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent' option ticked, then tick it and click continue if there are any problems, then remove the permissions that aren't inherited.

    Once you click 'Apply' and click 'OK' you should have the permissions to write to the directory and you won't get those error messages any more.

    Hope this solves your problem
