I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. Every time I try to install the latest version of VisualSVN Server (3.3.1) I get an error saying it could not create any temporary files.

I really can't figure out what's causing this error. I am installing as an administrator.

Here is a link to the installation logs.

Any help would be appreciated!

  • The only error message I see is "DEBUG: Error 2826: Control BottomLine on dialog FatalError extends beyond the boundaries of the dialog to the right by 5 pixels". There are similar reports online with this error in MSI logs where the issue was Windows Update. I suspect it's a problem with Windows Installer. There are several posts out there for how to fix Windows Installer when it's broken. Commented Apr 9, 2015 at 18:41

The full error is:

MSI (s) (F8!A8) [13:29:08:907]: Product: VisualSVN Server 3.3.1 -- Error 25000. Custom action InstallWMISchemaExecute failed: Error creating temporary file (0x8004402F)

The 0x8004402F is Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) specific error code:

So you have some issues with WMI on your computer. Suggested actions to troubleshoot this issue:

  • run sfc /scannow command
  • remove all files in C:\Windows\Temp directory
  • remove all files in %TEMP% directory
  • check that LOCAL SYSTEM account has full access to 'C:\Windows\Temp\ directory

Thank you so much! This did the trick. I would have never suspected it was WMI, as other programs were installing fine. I've got VisualSVN Server up and running just fine now. Thanks again.
It also makes sense to check the permissions to the user's %TEMP% directory. I.e., C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\. The error reproduces when I deny SYSTEM account access to this directory.
