MYTEMPDIR resolves to C:\Windows

Post by bsweeney »

Any ideas?

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate. I'm logged in as admin, and have launched the IDE as admin. It does not seem to make a difference if i change between install for all users or install for only me.

Thanks,
brian

It looks like by adding a system folder in the Files GUI view, set to "System->Temporary Directory" will generate the MSI code:

Get Folder Location System->Windows Directory into MYTEMPDIR

In the mean time, you could edit the MSIcode to read:

Set Variable MYTEMPDIR to $TEMPDIR$
