Apktool: unable to install framework-res.apk on Windows 10

[newbreedsoftware]

when trying to run 'apktool if framework-res.apk' I receive the following output. I am using Windows 10 Home x64 and I have launched Command Prompt as Admin. Apktool.jar and apktool.bat are both in my C:\Windows directory and I am able to decompile apks using 'apktool d apk.apk'.

C:\Windows>apktool if framework-res.apk
S: WARNING: Could not write to (C:\Users\Tyler\AppData\Local\apktool\framework), using C:\Users\Tyler\AppData\Local\Temp\ instead...
S: Please be aware this is a volatile directory and frameworks could go missing, please utilize --frame-path if the default storage directory is unavailable
I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\Tyler\AppData\Local\Temp\1.apk

I believe that is not an apktool problem but a folder permission in your installation.

Check that you have the admin right.
Choose another folder

Depend also by the pernisison on the folder.

Try to use Android MultiTool

decompress it under C;\

Copy your apk in C:\AndroidMultiTool\Files
Copy your apk in C:\AndroidMultiTool\Framework-Files

Open a dos prompt

Go in C:\AndroidMultiTool and run AMT.BAT

Select 1 to install framework-res,.apk
Select 2 to select apk
Select 3 to decompress apk
Select 4 to compress apk
Select 5 to sign apk

This is a support issue. Not a bug. As said above you can do quite a few steps to resolve this.

I recommend using the --frame-path [folder] parameter and describing the folder you want the framework resources to reside.

I have the same problem even running as an admin.

I think the fix on windows is easy, even without the --frame-path [folder] option. I just had to create the non existing directory c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\apktool\framework where [username] is your username. Once it was there, installing the framework used the folder correctly, which makes me feel the installation procedure or apktool.bat could just verify the directory existence and create it in case it's missing.

@iBotPeaches
I have the same problem. And yes, it is solved by DubKF's solution.
BUT it is the problem of your apktool, not other software because why user must specify installation directory by himself manually? If you can output the error message with the specified path then probably you can get this path and so why not to output the final command line hint?
