Access to the temp directory is denied?

I get the following error when trying to install SQL server 2014. I am running setup.exe as an administrator and I am the one and only Admin. I am running the installation from a virtual mount CD.

TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
------------------------------ SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error: Access to the temp directory is denied.  Identity 'EXTREMIS\Jordan' under which XmlSerializer is running does not have sufficient permission to access the temp directory.  CodeDom will use the user account the process is using to do the compilation, so if the user doesnt have access to system temp directory, you will not be able to compile.  Use Path.GetTempPath() API to find out the temp directory location..

I had a similar problem, turned out Avast was blocking writes to windows.temp

for Avast, go to settings, troubleshooting, untick 'enable Avast self defense module'

Then MSSQL installed fine.
