When I go to install the application, I get a "Unable to execute file in the temporary directory. Setup aborted. Error 5: Access is denied."
Is there an alternate installer available, or any command line switches that can be passed to prevent it from trying to run something in the temp directory?

Operating system?
Also, make sure you actually DL the file, and then run it. If you are on Vista, there should be something along the lines of run as admin in the right click context menu, try that.

XP SP2. It is a work computer, so I have limited ability to tweak any anti-virus settings (McAfee Enterprise version).
Try saving the setup file to a different location and running it from there. If that doesn't work you may need to be a local administrator on the machine to install it.

Love the software, good work.. the one thing I would say with the access denied error is that if you are upgrading from an older version of displayfusion, then chances are you already have it running so when you try to upgrade you get this error.
If you exit your current version & hit retry the upgrade will work fine.
I would suggest as a feature request that new versions of the software should check if the process is already running & kill it off if it is, that way you avoid the error altogether...
I'm not sure what the program is written in but in vb this would be easy enough... as follows:
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'displayfusion.exe'")
For Each objProcess in colProcessList
objProcess.Terminate()
Next
