I'm talking about Windows 2000 Pro and XP Pro.
TEMP _might_ be set if the web server is running under the SYSTEM
account. But if the web server service is running under an unprivilged
user account TEMP isn't automatically available.
If TEMP isn't set, the sqlite extension goes to write the temporary
files into the windows directory. Not a good idea.

But windows *always* set the TEMP var by default, doesn't it?
I never had such problems on windows...
To which version of windows are you refering to? Windows 9x?

Description:
------------
If the TEMP environment variable isn't set and the computer in question
has some semblance of security, the following error comes up:
malformed database schema -
unable to open a temporary database file for storing temporary
tables
This is a common problem that has been asked in various forums.
Here is a documentation patch to explain what needs to be done in order
to get SQLite to work on secure Windows machines:
