Lightroom cannot start because it cannot create files in the temporary file location
Installed and tried to launch Lightroom the cloud-based photo service. The following error is displayed:
"Lightroom cannot start because it cannot create files in the temporary file location
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp"
"[username]" being the name of my Windows user.
I have plenty of hard drive space.
I checked the folder and parents and made sure there were read/write permissions.
I am using Windows 10 64 bit.
I am logged in as an Admin.
Attempting to use "Lightroom the cloud-based photo service".
Check Preferences in CC, but I don't have an option to change or specify which folders Lightroom uses to create files - this is by default, immediately after installing.
I also ensured that I selected "run as an administrator" when launching CC.
I then installed and tried to launch Lightroom Classic (v 8.3.1).
IT crashed upon open and displayed a crash report dialog, which I sent to Adobe.
Next, I tried installing Lightroom CC (2015)(v 6.0). Installation failed with the error report below. At this point I gave up for now.
xit Code: 6
