Issue/Introduction

The customer is trying to install ITMS on a new server. SIM (Symantec Installation Manager) is trying to run the installation configuration files but it fails. Messages in the NS logs show errors like "error CVT1108: cannot open D:\TEMP\RES9078.tmp for writing". After this type of errors appear in the logs the installation finishes as a failed one displaying a long error entry in a popup window.

The Windows event logs also show a message like this one:

Environment

ITMS 8.1

Cause

In this particular instance, this issue is caused for the lack of rights into the TEMP folder used on the system:
https://forums.asp.net/t/1795521.aspx?+CVTRES+fatal+error+CVT1108+cannot+open+C+Windows+TEMP+RES3E2E+tmp+for+writing

which basically said that the folder been accessed didn't have the proper rights. In this case it is not normal accessing a folder called "
D:\TEMP", we usually use "C:\Windows\Temp". The permissions between this D:\TEMP and C:\Windows\Temp were different. It was missing IIS_IUSRS and CREATOR-OWNER.

Resolution

  1. Add IIS_IUSRS and CREATOR-OWNER users and give them at least Read and Write rights (Read & Execute, List folder contents, Read, Write) and try again running a repair on the installed Config files using SIM.
  2. Check the environment variables (Control Panel\System and Security\System\Advanced System Settings\Environment Variables) and see if it has been changed TEMP and TMP references to be pointing to D:\TEMP.
