Get Folder Location Temp Directory Missing

Post by 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

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
