Re: BUG #6194: Cannot install any of the installers

yes, there is that folder and it was using relative settings like %LOCALUSE=
R% or something similar and I changed it lateron to absolute paths like C:\=
Users\... when installations kept failing. Also, I restarted my machine eve=
rytime environment variable were changed or modified.

Thank you,

The older installers are probably giving the second error as they didn't ha=
ve the same check as the first to ensure that the environment was sane befo=
re trying to install the runtimes. What it's saying is that it cannot write=
 a file and execute it from your temporary directory. What does %TEMP% poin=
t to, and does that directory exist?
