[Solved] Cannot install 2.2.2 on Chinese Language

[pigman5010]

I can not install 2.2.2
It says "Could not creat temporary directory"

I have tried the method on this page:
http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic. ... ory#p69516

But it didn't work. It didn't let me install as an administrator.
I have never installed any older VitualBox versions.

My windows XP is in Chinese.

What sould i do?

There is a know bug that prevent 2.2.2 installing if the environment variables TEMP and TMP contain the some UTF codes which have multibyte UTF8 representation (such as Chinese). Create a temporary directory c:\TEMP and set TEMP and TMP to that then try the install.

how do i do that?

Not a VBox Q. Open a Command Prompt

• mkdir c:\TEMP
  set TEMP=C\TEMP
  set TMP=C:\TEMP
  start explorer C:\TEMP

This opens up a folder browser. Drag and drop your copy of VirtualBox-2.2.2-46594-Win.exe in this folder.

• start VirtualBox-2.2.2-46594-Win.exe

This will start the MSI installer as a child of the command shell and therefore inherit TEMP and TMP.

i'm sorry but I tried everything but it still didn't work = =

After setting TEMP you stay within the cmd prompt and then CD to where the .exe is and type its name.

Sorry, but as vbox4me says, I suspect that the one thing that you didn't try was exactly what I told you to do -- that is to type the start VirtualBox-2.2.2-46594-Win.exe command in the command window where you had set the TEMP and TMP variables. You need to do this here because a process inherits its environment from its parent. If you run the EXE from explorer then explorer is the parent, not the command process where you've set the variables.

My bad, it all works out now.
Thank you so much!
