Could not initialize installation C:\~GLC1034.tmp the system cannot find the file specified

Work Around - "Could not initialize installation C:\~GLC1034.tmp the system cannot find the file specified"

Long time since my last post but I since I could not find much useful info on the internet regarding this issue, I thought I would take a few minutes to share a work around. 

When trying to install an EXE packaged with Wise you get the below error: 



As a work around download PsExec and open cmd as system user to install that package.
1. Open CMD as admin
2. Run "PsExec -s -i cmd.exe"
3. A new cmd window appears, that windows in running in the SYSTEM context and you can perform your installations from there.


That's it for now, if you have any info on the root cause, please comment!!
