Composer Installation Error on Windows 10: The installation directory is not writable

I try to install Composer (downloaded from https://getcomposer.org/download/) on Windows 10, but I get the following error message: The installation directory "C:\Users\BAB2~1\AppData\Local\Temp\is-5EP2P.tmp" is not writable. Composer Installation Error
I have given full access to this directory, but it doesn't help. Could you please suggest any ways to solve this problem.

  1. download https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
  2. drop composer.phar file into your PHP folder
  3. make sure this PHP folder is on-path (so that you can call php everywhere)
    • if not, add the PHP folder to your environment PATH variable
  4. run php composer.phar for testing. you should get Composer's help output

  5. create a little batch file composer.bat to invoke composer easier:

    C:\PHP> echo @php "%~dp0composer.phar" %*>composer.bat

This enables you to run composer in any PHP project folder.
