The MSI way to get this would be [%TEMP] (formatted type in Windows Installer) so you just need to get that in your WiX source somewhere.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to reference a system environment variable? Hello WiX community, That's a really newbie question. I need to set permissions to the TEMP folder, the one stated in the system TEMP environment variable. I was trying this way: <!-- Setting permissions to the environment Temp folder --> <DirectoryRef Id="TempFolder"> <Component DiskId="1" Id="TempComp" Guid="{YOURGUID-GOES-HERE-B106-B9D9705E01D7}" Permanent="yes"> <CreateFolder> <util:PermissionEx ... /> </CreateFolder> </Component> </DirectoryRef> But this way it references the user-specific TEMP variable, the one under Documents & Settings. Could you please point me to the right direction? Thanks. -- Yan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
