It is a new installation on my machine, but I use for development and I
have to support customers that will still use 8.4 for a while.

I don't want to mix two different issues here but I also tried to
install 9.2.2-1 and I get a
"Unable to write inside TEMP environment variable path"
error message
And in the TEMP dir I find a bitrock_installer file with the following
content
