Hi!, Hope you could make sense of the last message that seems to have lost formatting in transmission. In desperation I used System Restore and went back to the earliest one seen - 02 Aug 2013. After that was done I had to reload CCleaner and tried doing so as Administrator from D: drive where I store such software. It was installed without any problem! I downloaded VLC again, tried installing as Administrator from \Downloads in C: and got the same error message. Then I moved the exe file to D: and tried from there as Administrator and the update installed without any problem! However, I require a solution to the problem as updates (other than for Windows) from Lenovo etc. that install directly are not going through and show error. Can I send my send my yesterday's reply as a Word file as an attachment by e-mail, so that it will make sense? With regards, Kannampilly

Hi! I tried all three ways without any success. 1. The Folder "Temp" was opened in User\AppData\Local\ but I could not instal the update for VLC not any other program. Only Defender updates seem to be updated. 2. Followed your instructions and opened Command Prompt as Administrator and typed the command given by you. The command prompt returned to C:\SAI 01\ but when I tried to install a program I got: “C:\Users\SAI01\~1\AppData\Local\Temp\is-GLMTD.tmp” Error 5: Access is denied" 3. When using the third method, I notice that unlike the screenshot that you sent, the values shown in my Environment Variables are as follows: Variable Value Data_FuncRetVal True Temp %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp Tmp %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp I used "New" to change the Temp and TMP values as advised and closed and re-opened the Environment Variables to make sure that the changes have been registered, but there is no change in the situation. Please help. I am re-booting to see if that will make a difference after the changes. If the problem has been solved, I shall login and inform you. Thanks and regards, Kannampilly

Hi! Thanks for the prompt reply. The laptop is at home and I shall try out the remedies in the night and let you know. Regards, Kannampilly

Yes, I did try with no difference to the outcome. Regards, Kannampilly

Sorry, I tried this and it did not work. I had replied to the e-mail from your through Gmail instead of through the Forum. Please help. Regards, Kannampilly

When trying to install the latest version of VLC Player (vlc-2.08-win32) I am getting the message \"NSIS Error Error writing temporary file.Make sure your tempfolder is valid\". My laptop runs Win7 Professional 64.
