Answer 1

Is your application configured to run under a specific user account?

If so, check the user account associated to the application has List Folder Contents and Read permissions on the %windir%\Temp folder.

Answer 2

I know this is an old question but it's still valid (and the issue still happens), and here's more information in case anyone else runs into this: http://blog.coderunnr.com/2012/06/net-xmlserializer-unable-to-generate-a-temporary-class/.

The post includes a couple of solutions (adding an attribute to the schema) with examples. The problem is actually a bug in .NET's XmlSerializer: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/349967/xsd-exe-generates-code-with-the-wrong-type-in-an-xmlarrayitemattribute
