Unable to execute, error 5 access denied.
Recently whenever I have attempted to install virtually any program, I've been constantly receiving this error message "unable to execute file in the temporary directory error 5 access is denied". From several google searches I have understood that the general cause of this error message is a lack of privileges regarding the temp folder. However this has not helped me since I have the permissions required so I cannot give myself them. I've found a few suggestions to use the "hidden" administrator account or make another administrator account and install via those, this does not work either. This has only begun happening recently and I would prefer to fix the issue instead of restoring/formatting.
All help is appreciated, thank you!
