Why the script couldn't find this folder? When I changed the corresponding variable to %windir%/Temp and ran the UpdateInstaller again, the installation was completed successfully.

You need to set %temp% to "C:\Temp" instead of "C:/Temp"

Are the users allowed to write to this directory?

I set this variable to %systemdrive%/Temp immediately after installation of Windows. But the script couldn't find the folder. Then I change it to %windir%/Temp and installation of updates was finished succesfully.

First: Did you notice the difference between \ and / ?
Second Did you create the directory c:\temp ? It won't be created automatically and when you reference it you have to create the directory before first use.

Yes. Before installing the drivers I have made it, then changed the variable. All drivers have been successfully installed. Then I ran the UpdateInstaller and got the aformentioned error.

Use the backslash in Windows!

C:\TEMP is correct while C:/TEMP is not.

As I already explained, I set this variable properly.
I used this path

Code: Select all

%systemdrive%/Temp

instead of

Code: Select all

C:\Temp

When I change the variable, I used this path

Code: Select all

%windir%/Temp

instead of

Code: Select all

C:\Windows/Temp

Once again: You use the slash (/) but Windows needs the Backslash (\) within directory names.
please set your temp to
%systemdrive%\Temp

Please, see this screenshot. I absolutely sure that I set the variable properly. these updates There is no difference between / and \. You can check this yourself.

wsusou doesn't recognize the slash (/) as a path seperator. You need to use the backslash (\). The wsusou will work correct.
Also please don't use the Windows Temp folder because that might cause permission problems.
