    Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid???


    Hello all, So all of a sudden a program or two will not run nor can I install a new version of CCleaner as well. I get a popup error message of "Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid" at each attempt to run or install CCleaner. I am here because you guys know how to fix any W10 problems so I hope you can help me once again. Thanks, Rick

    :)

    Can't uninstall or install any applications because of "NSIS Error: error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid"

    Hello, appreciate the response. I've tried to shift+delete the installer and installed a new installer. The new one still says "NSIS error: Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid." and it can't perform the proper setup of the
    application.
