Hello, good evening, I am taking the liberty of opening this post regarding a problem that has arisen a few days ago.
Indeed, now, when I want to install any software, a message appears displaying the following error:
The installation wizard could not create the folder
"C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\is-XXX.tmp".
Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.
I have searched for twenty and still found nothing that could help me.
I have checked the permissions of my "Temp" folder and the permissions are correct.
I therefore need help and I am looking forward to a response.
Thank you.

Hello
Ah, you didn't mention that... Funny how that works!
Try emptying your "Temp" folders.
That is: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp and also C:\Windows\Temp
See you!

Still nothing, I moved the software to "C:\Setup" (Setup that I just created) but nothing happens..

Hello
So open a command prompt as Admin (right-click, again...)
And typesfc /scannow
, validate and wait, read the result carefully to see if there were any repairs...
Restart and test again.
See you+

Good evening again, I just performed the operation and a message appeared:
"Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files, but was unable to fix some of them.
For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at the following location:
windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE switch."
I’m not quite sure what this means.. So if you have a solution, I’m all ears.
Thank you -
Hello
Yes, that's often the case.
To resolve this issue, you need to repair the system files using Microsoft’s Dism commands. There is a ready-made tool for this (Thanks to Kyhi) Image-Health (but the download link is broken), here is another personal download link French Image-Health.
Unzip it, preferably to the root, as it doesn't like too many sub/sub/subfolders.
Use option 1 and wait
Then option 2.
Finish with SFC again (option 7)
See you later

Try opening a command prompt as Admin
EnterDism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

It's fine, it was simply a mistake on my part, a software was blocking installations.
Have a nice day
And thank you Macintosh -

Hello
Many software programs need full rights to install...
Try installing by right-clicking and choosing "Run as Administrator".
A+
