Python package installation error - chronic issue

Question

My situation is as follows, but it's clear to me that it is a wider-reaching symptom than just one package. I am trying to install basemap, the matplotlib toolkit, on Windows 7 64-bit. I have an installation of Anaconda 1.9. I downloaded the relevant Windows executable from here , but cannot get it installed. When I execute the installer it says:

The file exists. Could not create temporary file

When I click 'OK' it says:

The setup program is invalid or damaged.

I have tried the executables for different versions of basemap and get the same thing.

This is exactly the same behavior as this question ... apologies for the "duplicate", but this illustrates that it has nothing to do with the particular package (PySide for that one, basemap for me). I've found people asking questions about the same behavior for various Python installers across the net, but nobody has written a solution (that I can find). And always Python installers.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Answer 1

In case the illuminating comments disappear, the answer to this question was merely that administrative privileges are required for the install . Leaving this question up so it may be found, because when searching I found many similar questions that had no answers.

Answer 2

我遇到了同样的问题，当我清空Windows临时文件夹时，管理员权限无法为我解决问题，然后它可以工作。
