Running the installation file as administrator
Simply right-click on the installation file and select Run as administrator. This will give the file admin-level permissions for 7-Zip to create an archive in the Temp folder to proceed with the installation if it is having insufficient permissions to do so.
Moving installation file to Desktop
Before running the file, make sure it is saved in the same drive where Windows is installed. A simple way to ensure this is by moving the file to the Desktop and run it. If needed, right click and select Run as administrator.
Ensuring the Temp folder is in the correct directory
The Temp folder which the installation file is trying to access to unpack files for installation is usually located at: Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp
To ensure the Temp folder is located in the correct directory, follow the steps below:
- Open up the start menu
- Search %appdata% and hit Enter
- Click on AppData on the top bar
- Go into the Local folder
- Check if the Temp folder exists in here, if it does not exist, create a new folder named Temp (make sure letter 'T' is capital)
After that, you may perform the previous solutions again to see if they work this time.
Other solutions
