When Attempting to Install a D/L exe File and/or setup.exe files on
Compact Disk .. I Receive "Unable to execute file in the temporary
directory. setup aborted. Error 5: access is denied." I have
Attempted ReInstalling Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803) and Found That
Did Not Resolve My Installation Troubles. I am Running Microsoft
Windows XP Service Pack 2 as My OS.

Please Inform ME IF I've Posted in the Wrong Folder Running XP. TY, SUN
 
Make sure the drive isn't full.
Check that you have permissions to the %temp% folder
Try again logged on as local administrator.
