You'll have to set an environment variable that points to that folder, e.g.

TEMP=c:\temp

To do this, right-click on 'My Computer', select 'Properties' and choose the 'Environment' tab. There you'll ba able to enter the appropriate variable name 'TEMP' and the value (some NT installations need to be rebooted when doing this - necessary for e.g. SP4, this works on SP3 without it)
In environment tab all variables are there, i tried using upper case & lowercase. even though not worked. so please any one can.
Place a TEMP directory in the WinNT folder.
Do you have the proper rights to this folder?
In other's without temp directory in the WinNT folder,the defination files updating successfully.


Default the folder contains everyone full access, verified the same.

Thank you jkr & cmarks .In user variable there was 2 variable Temp & tmp. I deleted variable of Temp. it worked fine,thanks a lot for your co-operation
FYI:  You can, and often do have two temp variables.

set temp c:\temp
set tmp c:\temp

If they are both pointing to the same directory, and that directory does exist, all should be fine.
No answers were correct with my problem, nearby answer is cmarks55, so i would like to close th question. Sorry for others .
