ACT 5 Event ID 1008

JJ

I am a problem running the data collector. The collector installs then
several errors are received (starting with Event ID 1008 - [collect.exe]
Failed to parse the command line arguments. Failed to get a path to the
user's temp directory). After several more errors the collector is
uninstalled. I saw in an FAQ that if this error occurs, ensure the DCP has
Read and Write access to the %tmp% and %temp% directories. What does DCP use
(System?). If so System has full access to these locations.
Any other ideas or suggestions?

Some processes run as LOCAL SERVICE and NETWORK SERVICE. Make sure that
these accounts also have write access to those directories. Let me know
how it goes.
