    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
