%temp% is normally the place rather than %tmp% 

There may be a permissions issue because it is in the root of C: but try
this batch file to see if it works on your PC. It works here in XP.

 <at> echo off
md "%HOMEDRIVE%\webserver"
cd /d "%HOMEDRIVE%\webserver"
dir
set file="%TEMP%.\Uninstall_EasyWebServer.cmd"

>> %file% ECHO PAUSE
cd /d "%TEMP%"
dir "Uninstall_EasyWebServer.cmd"
"Uninstall_EasyWebServer.cmd"
