An unknown error occurred while copying files to your temporary folder...

I need help ppl. I installed parallel desktop 3.0 but i cant install Visual studio.net 2005 now. Whenever i open the setup file the error says
"An unknown error occurred while copying files to your temporary folder... Setup will now exit."

I really need to use .NET for my project so if anyone can solve my prob do lemme know...

 

Hello,

what is your Guest OS? Vista?

 

Sorry for the late reply.

Actually I was running the setup from my harddisk but then I got a DVD and ran the setup from there... and bingo it didnt give any error then. I wonder why was it giving the error in the former case

Guest OS is Win XP...

 

Hi,

I'm getting the same error too. I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2008

 

Hi EvilLuke,
Are you running the Visual Studio 2008's setup from the hard disk?

 

Hi mate,

Indeed I am, and having read the other guy's response I'll burn the ISO to a DVD and try it again.

Oh, and I'm running XP (not Vista).

cheers,

~luke

 

Yeah I think that would solve the problem...

Later !

 

Easier way to fix than burning DVD

Hi,

For those of you that get the same msg you have 2 ways to fix the problem:

1} Burn a DVD and use that

2} Mount the ISO image using Parallels (MUCH easier!)

Menu -> Devices -> CD/DVD ROM 1 -> mount image

Find the ISO image and mount it. Works a treat and no need for burning a DVD!

cheers,

Hey Luke,

I actually registered just to thank you for that fix for getting this installed. Mounting the iso worked like a champ.

Thanks a pile,
