Visual Studio 2010 Installer Project

Thanks ford. I also noticed that when creating directories in the app path using directory.createdirectory method with

or

It installs it in the folder @

. I need this to create it in the actual program files directory for the program. Any clue? I am running this on an admin account.

 

unable to create the directory "C:\users\tom\appdata\local\temp\*.tmp


trying to install visual studio code and this message pops up immediately.

"Setup was unable to create the directory "C:\users\tom\appdata\local\temp\*.tmp"
error 5 access is denied

I tried taking ownership at appdata point but still no go. Is there some permission or other problem I may be overlooking?
Visual Studio Community installed like a charm.

 

create user fails windows 10

Geoff,

This is a shot in the dark.

Several people have been reporting different problems logging in to newly created user accounts.

• They just get a user profile service failed message instead of your symptoms.
• Whilst their symptom is different, it occurs to me that the cause might be the same.
• The common factor is that it affects newly-created user accounts that have never been successfully logged into.

So, I suggest having a look at my explanations in Cannot create a new user account that can be login.

In short -

1 Try copying the NTUSER.DAT file from the [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder of a computer that does not exhibit the problem.

2 Try copying the whole [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder group from a computer that does not exhibit the problem.

3 Try recreating the [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder group using Kapil Arya's linked article.

I have nothing other than a gut feeling to justify suggesting these steps,

Best of luck,

Denis
