Comment #4 on issue 28 by [email protected]: out of the box, gVim 7.3.46 for Win32 cannot write swap files on Windows 7

Has this been addresed? I am having the same trouble :(
Adding a "set directory" to .vimrc and appending a writable directory is a good >>temporary workaround. Both of these worked:
set directory+=$HOME set directory+=$TEMP
Have not worked for me either. When I run the following in gvim you can see directory remains the same:
set directory verbose directory=~/.vim/temp/swap// -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to. For more information, visit http://www.vim.org/maillist.php
