This is probably (as the error message says) a permission problem.
The installation tips were written a rather long time ago when CVSNT
used the global system temp folder, which in later Windows versions
turned out to be protected by all kinds of access locks.
So I suggested creating a separate temp folder like you have done. But
now the CVSNT installer creates its temp folder directly below its
install folder and sets the permissions on it such that it does work.
So I suggest that you go back to the control panel and change the
CVSNT temp folder to what it was before you changed it (<cvsnt install
path>\Temp).
Alternatively you can check the permissions on C:\CVSTEMP. There are
two items that must be there:

SYSTEM (Full control)
Everyone (Full control)
