Please ....help me with this..

After downloading a program and trying to install it,,I am
getting an Error saying:

Unable to create a temporary file
Set up is aborted.
Error 82: The directory of File cannot be found.

This has been going on quite a few times and I cannot
install anything because the Set ups are unable to create
a temporary file..

I'm really discouraged with this, ..Please help

1. Make sure your system drive has enough free space for your program.

2. Open a MSDOS prompt and type in "Set", read the path next to
"TEMP=..." or "TMP=..." and check if you can create a text file in that
directory. If you cannot, ask back here on how to proceed.

3. Try deleting the Microsoft Installer. You will loose all uninstall
information, but you may be able to install normally from then on.

Reboot.

Open the Temp folder and delete all Temp files:
-Click StartRun, type %temp% and click OK.
-Press Ctrl+A to select all, then press Delete.

Delete the Temporary Internet Files:
Click Start Settings Control Panel Internet Options General tab.
Click the Delete Files button, then put a checkmark in the box to Delete all
offline content, and click OK, and OK.

Close all open windows and running apps.
Disable your anti-virus and screensaver.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and End Task on everything except Explorer and Systray.
Try your installation again.

have a program that I have been using since 1997 called
Corel WinWord 7 and recently I can't get it to load up....
( I use this program to write all my writings, journal,
diaries and book stuff with)

So I've been trying to find out what the problem is and I
can't.

I have downloaded from the disc the same program so that
this will fix itself but Now my IE will not let any
program use theWindows/ Temp folder so that it can be
installed....so I could download 100 programs 100 times
but if Windows is stopping it from using the Windows/Temp
folder there is NO WAY that I can INSTALL anything.!

So now I am trying to find out Why Windows is not letting
any download use the TEMP folder to install....and having
No such LUCK!

Frustrating or what....!!!!

I was finally able to repair this problem.....I went into
the WINDOWS folder and re-named the TEMP folder to OLDTEMP
and the created a new folder and named it TEMP...then I
named the COREL folder OLDCOREL then I took my program
disk and downloaded it new into MY DOWNLOADS and now its
Working!!

Yippee
