  no solution I can find online won't work! (the name of the .tmp file changes every time)

  I tried to change my account temporarily in a new folder I created, C:\Temp, same result. I tried as admin, same result, I tried with UAC on and outside, same result. Create a new user on the PC, same result. Check the permissions on the folder (inherited), removed the permissions & re-added, same result. This seems to be an exe that I try to run to install something, it's fine by week or 2 ago.
  Any help appreciated.

  Take a look at the messages that appear in the right-hand side of the screen when you open your thread. They deal with the same issue.

• Setup failed to create the directory [bonnefin] error 5: access denied

  Hello

  I tried to install some programs (2) on my computer, but an error message shows everytime I open the Setup program. The error message is the following:
  Setup could not create the directory "C\Users\[NAME]~1\AppData\Local\Temp\is-HJF7P.tmp\".
  Error 5: Access denied
  I don't know if it is a problem with Setup (probably not since it happens with both programs) or the user/computer account. Very probably the last. I searched this error and found a few threads, but they were out of date or on the settings for who can access temporary files (which is why I put this topic 'Security, confidentiality and account' by the way I checked and they are the right settings).
  Oh, and I use an acer aspire laptop with Windows 7. There is only one user account on my computer and I think I have administrator permissions.

• Windows 7: error 5 (access denied) when you try to start the Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) service

  System: Win 7 Ultimate x 64 on a HP Pavilion DV6. My account is the user account only suitable on the laptop and an administrator account.

  When you try to do a system restore, it came with an error that the Volume Shadow Copy Service did not work, even if this error code is not relevant for the purposes of this question later, I managed to run the system restore in SafeMode to an old restore point...

  When you try to turn on VSS, I checked services.msc (which I ran as administrator) and VSS was off and on the manual. I tried clicking on start, the following error message came:

  "Windows didn't start the Volume shadow copy on the Local computer service."
  Error 5: access is denied. »

  I then switched to automatic and tried again, same error. I tried since everything I can possibly think (including the definition of back and forth between manual & auto then trying the solutions below) to get the service starts, nothing helps. The solutions tried so far:

  -net start vss high cmd - returns the same error (error 5 access is denied)
  -high vssvc.exe cmd - same
  -changed the full control permissions for me, the group admin and NETWORK SERVICE (that I had to add) to the System32 folder and vssvc.exe but no change
  -changed the permissions to full control for myself, admin and NETWORK SERVICE group (who even once, I must add) for VSS in regedit (open as administrator) still nothing
  -even tried to restart explorer.exe a high cmd and a task manager high and again made the permissions - still nothing.

  The only thing I haven't done is run a sfc scan, but tbh, I doubt that will fix anything. It also seems that VSS has been turned off for a while, as my last restore point was about 3 months ago and I installed things since.

  Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated, because I'm going nuts with that now! Thank you!

  The Volume Shadow Copy Service must not be on auto-start.

  According to the site TechNet Microsoft VSS THAT was introduced with Windows XP SP1 and since that time it has always installed as manual start since he does not need to be started automatically and it works day and night to do nothing.  Some places say different times when VSS has been introduced, but be sure that it was a long time ago.

  A popular site to see how Windows Services should / could be put in place is here:

  http://www.blackviper.com/service-configurations/

  If you've read about VSS on Microsoft TechNet, it says:

  

  https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh125927 (v = ws.10) .aspx

  So do you think the MS TechNet site is fake and that each installation of Windows since XP has a badly installed VSS Service?  If that were the case all Windows systems in the world would be in trouble.

  On an unafflicted system if you open the services applet and observe the VSS Service, it should look like this:

  

  So if you start a backup operation or even create a Restore Point, go back to the Service applet and press F5 to refresh you'll see that the VSS Service changed its status to start:

  

  Once the operation is complete the VSS Service will stop itself (it may take a while).

  That's how it is supposed to work.

  We should certainly be able to affect the automatic VSS Service and you should be able to start, but you shouldn't need to.  People who say that "solved their problem" forgets to mention the days/weeks to try things that lead to get their system of work.  There is no way of knowing which of the dozens of things that they could have tried really solved the problem.

  You say that the system restore worked in Mode safe (but not a normal startup) and if it is true that means usually something to load in a normal trunk causing a problem and that something is usually an antivirus/antimalware application that is 'protect' your system against the changes.  When you start mode safe these things are usually not loaded this is why sometimes your system restore mode without failure.

  Contributors known for these programs are Norton, McAfee, Avast, Avira, Kaspersky and probably others.

  So what antivirus/antimalware programs you are running and have checked their support pages for known problems with backup/restore system restore?

  Norton has even a page about these issues:

  https://support.Norton.com/SP/en/us/home/current/solutions/v51118464_EndUserProfile_en_us

  Even McAfee told their product to uninstall completely before doing a system restore:

  "Intel Security recommends that you remove McAfee security products before to proceed with an upgrade of the operating system or the Microsoft System Restore and then re-install your McAfee product when the update/restore is complete. "
  

  So I assumed that whatever your AV program happens to be could be part of the issue here - but we don't know what it is.

  We know error 5 is a permissions/access denied error type, but you shouldn't make adjustments to get VSS to start if something is wrong.  If as you have tried adjustments have been necessary every Windows system in the world should also make these adjustments and coming is not past.

  Of course, now, your system might be more affected since you've been changing permissions on the things trying to VSS to start when there is probably not a problem with VSS in the first place, so who knows what condition are in now.

  You could start by uninstalling what your AV software (most manufacturers have a special program for that) and by eliminating third-party applications that are known to interfere.  You can always reinstall them again later, no?
