Looks like your TEMP environment variable is not properly set.
Can you please tell me what is the output of this command: "echo %TEMP%"?

If it is not properly set, please set it to
"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp".
Then try to run the installer.

Do you have read/write permission in that directory?
