There still seems to be a problem in the Win 1x OSes.

Description:
When installing on Windows 10 I've hit this error, displayed in a dialog
during unattended mode installation:
"Error copying file from packed archive [location] to [temp
folder]/prerun_checks.vbs: Destination not writable" with Abort, Retry,
Ignore
If I Abort, the follow up message is:
"system's temp folder is not writable by the current user"
The folder *is* writable by the user running the exe (who is a member of the
Administrators group, BTW). I've captured the
installbuilder_installer_[number].log file, but there's nothing very
obviously useful there (I've obfuscated my domain and user names):
