1241155 2011-11-01 03:05:00 Disable / turn UAC off. It can cause access denied errors with some programs Speedy Gonzales (78)
1241156 2011-11-01 03:14:00 it is already off shione83 (7126)
1241157 2011-11-01 03:20:00 Did you install any firewall (besides using windows firewall)? Unless the plugins arent compatible. What version of Photoshop is it? And is it x86 or x64 windows 7? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1241158 2011-11-01 03:25:00 yep. i use zonealarm ...and its x64 with sp1 shione83 (7126)
1241159 2011-11-01 03:27:00 Kill zonealarm see what happens. I would use Win7's firewall. At least it blocks in and out Speedy Gonzales (78)
1241160 2011-11-01 03:49:00 ok still nothing...and zonealarm blocks both ways...doesnt it?? shione83 (7126)
1241161 2011-11-01 03:56:00 Well yeah ZA does but its crap Speedy Gonzales (78)
1241162 2011-11-01 04:57:00 Doubt its anything to do with the firewall.


Error creating temporary directory: Access is denied Thats a permission problem normally.

Is it trying to put the files in the Temp Directory or someplace else, there will be a path its trying to access.

Check out the file permissions on the TEMP folder.

Click start, in the search box, type in %Temp% (exactly like that) Right click the result, "open Folder Location" Right click the folder, Properties, On the General Tab, unselect Read only -- then on the security Tab, click your user name, in the window below, make sure you have ticks on all permissions, the only one you shouldn't have is special Permissions.
If you dont have ticks on every permission, then with your user name selected, click edit, and tick the permissions.

You may need to reboot, try installing the files again.


Does it work ?
