Filebag Temp Folder

Post by colnjackman »

Hi

I have an install that includes the "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime 9.0". This works great and installs everything properly BUT it looks like the Filebag defined in the include files uses c:\\ as the temp location and doesn't remove these files at the end of the install. This looks really bad to the end customer.

Is there any way to control this or ensure that an environment variable is set properly?

Thanks
Colin

Get Environment can read an environment variable.
$TEMPDIR$ is the pre-defined variable pointing to %TMP%.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I know how to read environment variables but I need to know what one FileBag is using (if it uses an environment variable) so I could ensure that that variable is set correctly.

As it is now, the FileBag for my VC9 runtime is using c:\\ and NOT deleting the files once the install is finished.

Thanks
