Unable to Extract to Temp Directory (EX11 error for InDesign CC)

Good Afternoon,
I purchased the annual subscription for the creative cloud suite, for use on my Windows 7 PC.  All programs downloaded and installed just fine, with the exception of InDesign.  I receive the error "Installation failed - unable to extract to temp directory.  Please contact customer support (EX11)."
Screenshot of error provided: Dropbox - Screenshot 2014-09-07 10.16.48.png
In searching through the forums, I found several similar instances; however, I didn't really see any resolutions.  It just so happens that InDesign is the program I need most for a project with a deadline approaching this week.  Figures it would be the one that gives me trouble on the install
Any assistance that could be provided, as timely as possible, would be very greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance!

I resolve this error by searching through other forums.
Apparently there is a bug where if your Windows account name is longer than 12 characters, you are unable to install InDesign.  My administrator account name is 13 characters.  I created a second administrator account, with the name "test" and I was able to then install InDesign without any issue.
I hope that others who have the same issue I did find this to be helpful.

  • Installation failed: Unable to extract to temp directory. EX11

    Hi there,
    Today I decided to upgrade from ADOBE CS4 toa CC subscription. I am on PC, running WINDOWS 7. My main design computer is 64-bit, my laptop runs 32 bit WINDOWS. I downloaded the app manager and selected apps without problems on my main computer - but as I am trying to install on my Fujitsu Lifebook T900 laptop computer (running 32-bit Windows 7) - I get download problems - so far both Photoshop and Indesign have failed to install. Bridge updated sucessfully.
    NOTE: I did uninstall CS4 on my laptop and reboot my system before beginning the CC app download
    The error message for INDESIGN states this:
    Installation failed
    Unable to extract to temp directory. Please contact customer support. (EX11)
    Can you help me with how to make this work?
    Thanks
    Helma Sawatzky

    Hi Helma,
    Please follow the below steps:
    1) Quit Adobe creative cloud desktop application.
    2) Click on start button and right click on Properties.
    3) Advanced system settings>> Advanced>> Environment Variables>> Highlight first line item and click on Edit.
    4) Variable Name: TEMP and Variable value: "C:\Temp". Do the same thing for the second line item.
    5) Click Ok and Apply, once done launch Adobe creative cloud and then try to install Indesign once again.
    Please let me know if that helps

  • Unable to extract all the records initial run(for Datasource 0HR_PY_1).

    Hi All,
    I was trying to extract the data using 0HR_PY_1 Data Source (HR-Payroll related).  When I use Full update in BW, it extracts all the records from R/3 but when I use Init load to extract the data, it is not extracting all the records(some records are missing).
    So I dont know what exactly is happening. I also checked RSA7 and deleted the entry for this data source (this entry was created because we tried to do some test delta in the past).
    When I goto RSA3(Extractor Checker) and use update mode "F" (along with some selection criteria employee#284), it shows 550 records which is the correct number.But when I use the update mode "C"(Initialization of the delta transfer),  I just get 490 records only.
    So I am thinking is there anything I need to do to reset the initialization tables somewhere on r/3 side or do some kind of settings on r/3 by which I can extract all the records by using INIT load.

    I noticed a weird thing in RSA3,
    I tested this without any selection criteria.
    Using "F" update mode, the total number of records were 173,654
    Using "C" update mode, the total number of records were 176,205
    So, even though I was getting less number of records by using "Full" update mode, I was able to see the latest data I wanted. But When I use "C" update mode, even though the number of records is more, still I could not see the latest data (6/2007)???
    So dont know what exactly is happening!!

  • Installation error of InDesign on CC

    Hello, when I try and download InDesign App on CC it errors at about 40% of the download and says "Installation failed, unable to extract to temp directory"does anyone know what I need to do in order to sort this issue? I have previously downloaded Adobe Illustrator without a problem.
    Thanks,
    Sarah.

    Sarah then you probably have insufficient file permissions under your current User account.  I would recommend verifying your installed security software is not blocking saving and extracting files in the temporary directory.  I would also recommend you verify you have correct file permissions for the temp directory.  You can find details on how to adjust file permissions at Error "Exit 6" or "Exit 7" | Install log | Read, write, system file errors | CS5, CS5.5.

  • Possible Bug: Excessive writing to TEMP directory for any PDF metadata change

    I am using the latest version of Adobe Bridge CC 6.1.0.116 x64 for Windows.
    I use Adobe Bridge to manage large archives of scanned PDF's composed of full page JPG's.
    Whenever I attempt to change metadata on these PDF's, Bridge performs heavy writing to the TEMP directory. Even when using an SSD, changing any metadata is very slow and the TEMP writes are enough to produce noticeable wear on the disk.
    [I would have attached screenshots, but I get a "That image type is forbidden" error in these forums whenever I attempt to upload screenshots (either JPG or PNG; and they are less than 900px on longest edge).]
    Resource Manager:
    IMAGE: Bridge.exe
    FILE:...\Temp\A9R12b8-1315f76
    WRITE: 349,175,808 B/sec
    The Task Manager also shows 356MB/sec writes for over fifteen seconds for each metadata change, with brief pauses between files.
    This amount of data written amounts to about 20GB each minute!
    (Note that the files I was modifying in this test averaged only about 100MB each.)
    Bridge did not always do this. I remember earlier versions performed metadata changes swiftly without these excessive write issues. I do not remember in which version this problem began, however.
    Resaving the files in question does not solve the problem. I have also tried exporting as Postscript and re-Distilling, and even exporting JPG's and recreating the PDF from scratch.
    This problem seems to affect any PDF that is a collection of full-page JPG's. The PDF's that I have made from TIFF's or non-rendered text do not cause this issue. On non-JPG based PDF's metadata changes are fast and do not cause noticeable writes to the TEMP directory.

    Thanks a lot Rob. That works.
