Change the %TEMP% of wapt

Hello
, By default, WAPT extracts its packages to the system's TEMP directory (typically C:\Windows\temp) to launch installations.
Is it possible to configure WAPT to use a specific folder?
Regards,
Tom

Hello t.heroult,
It must be using the current user's %TEMP% directory, so in this case, LOCAL_SYSTEM. We're thinking of moving it to c:\ProgramData. Why is this causing you a problem?

Denis

Hi Denis
, well, I have a few thin clients, machines with embedded Windows, configured to use a RAM drive to simulate a Z: drive as a temp folder.
However, this temp drive is only 80 MB, which quickly limits the size of the packages we want to install.
So, the idea is that I could tell WAPT: Don't use the default temp folder, which is terrible, but use the location I'm telling you about instead.

This isn't currently supported by the code; we'll look internally to see if we can add a parameter to specify a different directory.

This parameter interests me a lot too!
