Unable to write inside TEMP environment variable path

Question

I'm trying to install PostgreSQL 9.3 program and I get this error every time I try to run the application. Please give me a solution.

Answer 1

It still did not work. Another error occurs when I try to add new value (C: \ Windows \ System32 \ vbscript.dll): Error writing the value's new contents. Thanks anyway. I hope I succeed to install. Or maybe there is another solution.

Hi Roxana, I had the same problem as yours. This is how I fixed it

i) to fix "Error writing the value's new contents" (you got later), please provide access to yourself. Follow this : http://www.mydigitallife.info/grant-read-write-full-control-permissions-on-registry-keys-fix-cannot-import-and-access-denied-error-in-regedit/

ii) Next repeat the steps given by Shinesh Padikal above.

iii) If the problem persists, enable windows host script using: https://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110529123006AABGsYv

Hi Roxana,

There are possibilities that some security software might be blocking the installation of PostgreSQL 9.3 and not allowing to run on your computer. I hope this software is compatible with Windows 7 operating system.

Are you running McAfee antivirus software on your computer? If yes, then request you to disable McAfee temporarily and try installing PostgreSQL 9.3. Check if that helps.

If the above suggestion does not help then we might have to look into the registry. Please follow the below steps to modify one particular value:

1. Click on Run and type regedit and then press Enter.
2. In the left pane, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Classes->CLSID->B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8} -> InprocServer32
3. Modify the registry entry with new value as C:\Windows\System32\vbscript.dll
4. Click on OK and close the registry window.
5. Restart your computer and try installing PostgreSQL 9.3 again.

Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. Check the below link to backup the registry.
