Close all programs (that means the browser, too, so you're going to want to copy the following down first!). Open a command line in administrator mode (Win-S, search for "command," select "run as administrator"). Then type the following two commands:
Code:
msiexec /unreg
msiexec /regserver
then reboot.
This fixes the problem about 90-95% of the time, even when it's a TEMP folder permissions issue. Until the next time it gets out of synch... which is virtually guaranteed when there's a feature update, like 25H2 in about three months... |
I have never had a temp DIRECTORY permissions error and I've been running Windows since 3.1. Granted, I did skip WindowsNT, Windows 2000, WindowsME and Windows Vista.
