Setup execution is denied on Windows 7 even after turning off UAC
I have four partitions on my hard drive, viz., C, E, F and G. Partitions C and G are NTFS whereas E and F are FAT32. I downloaded wxRuby Setup to the partition E. When I tried to execute the Setup, Windows 7 displayed an error: "Unable to execute file in the temporary directory. Setup aborted. Error 5: Access is denied" I tried to execute it as an administrator by right-clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator". It again displays the same error. I brought the slider level of UAC to the lowest level to turn UAC off and restarted the PC, still I am getting the same error. I have created Windows Temp folder in the partition E by changing the Environment Variables. I did this to avoid fragmentation on the partition that contains OS. I have even changed the path of the Windows page (swap) file. I right-clicked this Temp folder to check the rights. I changed the ownership and allowed all rights, still the problem is there. I changed the Windows Temp folder location to Windows default and restarted the machine. I get the same error when I try to execute the Setup. Here please note that I am logging in as an Administrator. It is not a Guest account. How to get rid of this problem? ................
