The system cannot find the path specified

Dear

I want to program attiny85 by UNO Arduino. First, I choose Example>ArduinoISP. Then, I run Burn_AT85_bootloader.bat but this error message keeps appearing:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>"C:\Users\win\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa7724.19279\11\hardware\tools\avr/bin/avrdude" -C"C:\Users\win\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa7724.19279\11\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf" -v -pattiny85 -cstk500v1 -PCOM5 -b19200 -Uflash:w:"C:\Users\win\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa7724.19279\11\ATtiny85.hex":i -U lfuse:w:0xe1:m -U hfuse:w:0xdd:m -U efuse:w:0xfe:m
The system cannot find the path specified.
Press any key to continue . . .

How can I fix it?

First, I'd suggest not keeping anything in the temp folder, and if you are trying to run it from inside a compressed folder it's likely going to fail anyway. You can put it just about anywhere you want on your computer, but temp can get cleared.

Second, did you upload the ArduinoISP example to your Uno? You can't just open the example sketch.

Third, I'm new to this, but I've burned a few Attiny85s and was able to do it through Arduino IDE. I didn't use an Arduino to burn it though; I used a dedicated programmer.

Thank you for replying

I have a lot of folder in Temp. Should I delete all of them?

I upload ArduinoISP on UNO. I do setup based on this website

Could you send me your boatloader?

You can leave them. Windows generally takes care of temp if it becomes a problem. It probably wouldn't would anything to delete them, but no reason to risk it.

I don't technically use a bootloader on mine, but I have two options of bootloaders from http://drazzy.com/package_drazzy.com_index.json, which I found from another user here. I don't believe my method will work with your setup though, so hopefully you can get it working.

If you choose to use that json, make sure you research any options you want to choose because you can make it very difficult to recover. The json in your guide is much safer, but with fewer options.
