Question

_{Thursday, April 30, 2020 7:12 AM}

Hello,

I have C and D drive. D is a data disk.

When windows install updates create many MSI***.tmp on disk D. I have not modified folder permissions on C:\Windows\temp or any system folder.

The system variables are by default:

TEMP and TMP > C:\Windows\TEMP

Windir > C:\Windows

Everything is with default configuration.

Thanks,

Hello,

Try to login by built-in Administrator account, and run .msi again, clean the MSI.temp folders in Administrator account.

Also refer to this case for a hint:

Lot of MSI###.tmp folders created in c drive root folder
