>Simply create the Temp and Tmp keys there.
They are there by default (c:\windows\temp), and it does'nt help me
>Otherwise work with user profiles instead, much easier to maintain in the long run when change is needed.
OK, could you give me some hints, how to do this?

Variable = TEMP
Variable Value= %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp
Am I missing something?
Variable = TEMP
Variable Value= %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp
Am I missing something?
