Yes, it could be other Windows error codes, but the Installer probably
doesn’t use the OS for much other than file management.  My guess is we
get this error from AIR when it tries to do something file-related and
Windows throws one of its errors.

BTW, if it is “access denied” and the other top failure is “unable to
create temp dir”, I’m wondering if we really need to create a temp dir at
all?  Does the Installer actually need to write something before the
destination folder is chosen?  Otherwise, maybe the Installer should
create a temp dir in the destination folder.  One would expect the
destination folder is writeable.  The Ant script does that.  It creates an
“in” folder in the folder it has been expanded into.
