Hi,
There seems to be a bug with the "Temporary" folder in the Files and Folders section. Here is an example of what I do. I have 2 files, file1 and file2. First I add file1 to the "Temporary" folder as temporary file. Then I add file2 into the "Temporary" folder, but as a regular file.
Now I build the .msi file and run it locally on my server. Once I start the .msi file1 gets put into the TEMP folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp
Thats fine, exactly what I expect to happen. Now I continue the installation, and file2 gets installed into the same location.
I uninstall the package, empty the TEMP folder, and connect to my server using remote desktop. As soon as I am connected a subfolder "1" gets created in the TEMP directory, so this subfolder is now the TEMP folder for this remote session.
Again I run the .msi, this time file1 gets put into the new subfolder, which is fine:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\1
But now I continue the installation, and file2 does _not_ get installed into the subfolder, but into
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp
which is not the correct temp folder for the current session. So what I can see is that temporary files that get added to the "Temporary" folder are extracted into the correct folder, while regular files put into the same folder do not use the correct temp variable.
I can easily reproduce this, so please let me know if you can confirm this behaviour.
Thank you for your assistance.
