Get Folder Location Temp Directory Missing

[KennethLee]

Hi InstallAware guys,

I found a bug in InstallAware 9 (latest release since Sept 8, 2009) -- System->Temporary Directory is listed in Design Mode, Setup Architecture, Files when adding a system folder. When I tested the install, I didn't have permissions. When I checked the MSICode, it listed System->Windows Directory and I noticed that System->Temporary Directory is missing from the list.

To reproduce:
1. Add a system folder in design mode. Notice System->Temporary Directory exists.
2. Go to MSI Code. Add Get System Folder and look for System->Temporary Directory.

Please fix. For now I'll use the API call.

Kenneth

Thanks for the bug report, I'll get this onto the fix list.

What's about that bug report which is almost 1 year old? As we see the System->Temporary Directory is still missing ... we're now using:

Get Environment Variable %TEMP% into Variable TEMPDIR

What about this post? Do we get an answer on that issue?
