Software & Version

Electronics Desktop 2024R1

*This example was taken from this version but is not necessarily limited to this version.

Description/Cause

During installation, the installer prompts to create a directory to write to temporarily. The default location is C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp. If the user installing the software is not the primary user, (ex: someone with administrator rights running the install) then the primary user will not have write permissions to that directory.

*The cause(s) we identified in this documented instance may not be the only cause(s) for this error.
