Permission to access Temp folder

G

Guest

I downloaded Adobe Reader but the installation I get this error:

"The Temp folder is on a drive that is full or in accessible. Free up space
on the drive or verify that you have write permission on the Temp folder."

I clearly have write problems to this folder, I changed write permissions on
the Temp folder but I still get this error, one thing I realized is that I
cant change the permissions of the windows folder.. how can I solve this?

Wait, you mean their software won't install if you have UAC DISABLED?
So somewhere in there installer code is a statement that is essentially:

if write permissions on %TEMP% == allowed && UAC == enabled
allow install
else
disallow install
endif

What sort of software test misses that obvious glitch?
