Have you set both the system & user temp environment variables? They are 2 separate settings.


Not that surprising--a lot of programs are notorious for not using GetSystemDir, GetTempDir and just assuming the locations are fixed.

Generally windows programs have gotten a lot more compliant to such things in recent years, but just think how many applications crapped out / required special compatibility workarounds in Vista due to requiring Admin privileges, etc--breaking rules that have been recommended for years.

If there's one constant in the computer world, it's that there is a lot of crappy, buggy software out there :-)
