    Just an Idea here . Try decrypting the %temp% folder inside your other profile ( old ) . And you should be able to install programs .

    The temp folder is not encrypted. And it never was encrypted, which is what's odd to me. Also, the permissions for the app data folders and temp folders for the old user and new user both match, so Im not sure what the issue is.

    No, just the user whose account it belongs to.

    I have the same problem, and Vista King's solution works for me until I restart my computer. Then I have to do it all over again. Any idea why it resets?
