Temp Folder

Something happened to my temp folder registry key. Most installers, including the PA Installers can't run now. Does anyone know where to fix the key?

If env vars are ok, then the problem isn't probably registry related, programs should be able to find temp.
Maybe you mistakingly set your temp to read only?
What error messages do you get?

IE8:
Unable to find a volume for file extraction.
Please verify that you have proper permissions.

I don't remember what the one from the portableapps installer is.

Never mind. I found out why

Never mind. I found out why it wouldn't work. I was launching them from MiniDM (part of IE7Pro) which has sub user privliges because it works with IE.
