Dear,
I have window 7 install in my Laptop. Since yesterday i am facing this issue when Operating system Load.
However, temp directory exist under the below path.
\user\PC1\AppData\Local\ temp.
Can you pls share what is the reason behind this.
Thanks.
First thing to do is run a disk check see if that fixes it. What's the rest of the error message?
Dear,
I ran chkdsk and then checked but it was showing same error. then i restart with safmode and tried to delete TEMP Folder under Local Directory but no luck.
Can you pls guide, because i am unable to install any software it shows ERROR "could not setup the extraction directory"
Thanks.
Go to the \user\PC1\AppData\Local\temp, and delete the contents of the temp folder, but not the folder itself. Something in that folder could be causing the problem.
If it won't let you delete the contents of that folder, log out and reboot, then log in as another user who has administrator rights. Delete the contents of the temp folder. Then log out, reboot, and log in as user PC1 and see if the problem has been solved.
Dear
I tried to delete files from "c:\user\PC1\AppData\Local\temp " bus system is showing an error and not allowed me to even acces this directory as below error
"c:\user\PC1\AppData\Local\temp is not accessible.
The file or directory is corrupted and readable."
Pls Advise.
Two suggestions:
1. Try a system restore first, may not work if a file corruption.
2. Create a new user, PCX with admin rights, then if this works, copy over Docs etc., and delete old PC1 user once you are satisfied when all is okay.
You could also try to go back to an restore point prior to the date/time that the problem started. This should fix this problem only, without affecting your data, or your installed programs.
But I agree with robmar0se - try creating a new user and logging in as that user. That is the most simple solution.
