I was under the impression that each File Bag, with a separate location returned, would be a separate namespace (i.e., a separate temp folder).
That doesn't appear to be true, can someone confirm?
(Several file bags are stepping on each other with files of the same names).
Thanks, Jon

Try using seperate web media blocks for each of the file bags, and/or bag using top-level folders having unique names, to work around this issue.

It was easy enough to work around using separate subfolders for the namespaces once I found the problem! Some comment about this in the File Bag help section might have saved me a lot of time (if I read it all first!).
I haven't used web media blocks, (other than the default) though, since this is a single "exe" delivered installer to non-internet connected machines; I hadn't thought of that.
Thanks, Jon

Oh, with non-web builds, the other idea would not work anyways.
