When WordPress downloads a plugin ZIP file, then it has to be able to
write that file somewhere. To do this, it uses C:\WINDOWS\TEMP directory.
If WP detects that it cannot write files to this temp directory, then
you get the error message like "The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_MISSING_FILE (-4) : Missing archive file 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP/akismet.tmp " .
Solution:
You can work around this by specifying a temp directory on your
server with a place that you know WordPress is allowed to write files
to. You can do this by adding this line of code into the wp-config.php
file.
1. Find the links blow:
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
2. Add lines below
/** Specify wordpress temp dir */
define('WP_TEMP_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/temp');
3. Open wp-content folder, and create a new folder named "temp"
Try again, you will see it works like a charm.
