I try to open it and it says a registry error has occured or my .temp file
is missing, however when i download it with any other browser it works fine.

this doesnt just happen with Ccleaner.exe it happens with any .exe file I

@patrickmu...: Any more details from your end? Have you looked at the
links Dietrich...@gmail.com posted to see if it makes sense that that is
your problem?

right I have tried everything... iv'e followed the instructions that where
posted on here, I have byte compared the file with one downloaded onto a
separate computer (they match), I have also downloaded the file on chrome,
on a separate computer and put it onto a flash drive and done it that way,
it also worked. It also works if I download it through Mozilla or internet
explorer, it also works. The second I download it through chrome on this
computer, it just doesn't work. it must be some link between my chrome and
my TEMP folder, seeing as it says "Error writing temporary file. Make sure
your temp folder is valid"

It doesn't, wherever I download it to it still has this error, it does not
do it when I use Firefox or IE which download to the same file.
