I want to install the latest FME version, but (I assume to store temporary installation files) it tries to get acces to a location I do not have access to. I added FME_TEMP, but (for this purpose) does not make sense. Also modified TEMP and TMP environment variables to a directory I definitely have access to, but that also didn't help. Which environment variable is used to specify the temporary directory to store the installation files?
Question
Environment variable specifying temp directory when installing FME

If you mean for the installation of FME, I believe you'll need local admin privileges for that.
Based on your question, it seems that's not the case?
I guess I don't have local admin privilege. I got the message there wouldn't be enough space on some drive or I wouldn't have access to that location (this one's the problem I think) to store the temp files in. So I thought: why not point FME to a location where I have access to? But you think that also wouldn't solve the problem since I seem not to be allowed to install software anyway? Isn't then the message (not enough space) a little confusing?

I would strongly recommend only running the FME installer with local admin privileges.
