Error writing temporary file
I have deployed a package that i've set up with NSIS. It's worked on all of our pc's except one. I am getting the error "Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid". I've checked the temp folder in the documents and settings and made sure there was write access to it. Also when the package closes, it exits with exit code 2. Does anyone have any ideas about this issue by chance?

Also, is there a way to suppress error messages. I would like to prevent a messagebox from being displayed.

Thanks,

To suppress error messages you have to run the installer silently with the /S flag on the command line.

Make sure %TEMP% and %TMP% are set properly and that the folder they point to is valid.
