This error occurs when the TEMP environment variable is set to a directory that

To correct this situation:
1. Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with a text editor, such as Microsoft Windows
Notepad. Ensure the SET TEMP statement is similar to the following:
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
2. Run File Manager and ensure there is a C:\WINDOWS\TEMP directory. If there is
not, choose Create Directory from the File menu and create C:\WINDOWS\TEMP.
3. If you changed your AUTOEXEC.BAT file in step 1, you need to exit Windows for
Workgroups and restart your computer.
