Xamarin Android Player installation error 2203

Question

When I try to install Xamarin Android Player version 0.6.5.0

Error: 2203

The error starts when android player asks to install Virtual Box(which comes attached to the setup). First error is shown in Virtual Box installation and then in Xamarin Android Player installation.

I gave full access to temp folders which did not help.

Error 2203 is the windows error when you cannot access the default temporary folder in Windows (%temp%). A third-party program may restrict access to this folder, or there may not be sufficient permissions assigned to it.

Workaround:

1. Open a command prompt with administrator permissions (cmd.exe)
2. Create a new directory: Example: md c:\temp
3. Set the temp folder location to the new temp folder set temp=c:\temp
4. Start the Xamarin Android Player Installation
