@leleganja said in Notepad++ v8.9.1 Release:
Why do I get these errors when I install Notepd++ with both v8.9.2 and v8.9.1?
At first glance: it appears that whatever account that is being used to install Notepad++ doesn’t have write-permission to the temp directory that the installer created. That is odd, given that the installer usually asks for Admin privileges to install. But maybe your computer is set up so the Admin account(s) don’t have write permission to the indiviudal user file-areas.
Try creating a directory someplace where both your normal user and your admin user have write access, and then temporarily set %TMP% to point to that directory. When you run the installer, it should use that new directory instead, and should (I would think) have write-permission there. (My experiments showed it used the alternate location if I set the %TMP% user variable, but not if I set the %TEMP% variable, so you only need to change %TMP%. If you don’t know how to change that variable: click the START menu, type system environtment which will find the Edit the system environment variables option, which you use; click Environment variables button, then in the User variables section, edit TMP to point to the new directory you created; after doing OK a few times, then you can run the installer, and it should use that directory. When done installing, don’t forget to set TMP back to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp in the same manner.)
