Hi all.
When using WIX to create large MSI's, it would be convenient to
redirect the storing of temp files created by WIX to some other
storage media.
As I understand, this is done by setting WIX_TEMP environment variable.
And yes, it does redirect some of the temp files, but not ALL. Some
still end up in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp.
What light does:
1) Create directory called something like xvnt3tm8. This directory
contains a directory called cab_0_WixUIExtension and a file called
cab_0_WixUIExtension.cab. The location of this dierctory can be
configured with WIX_TEMP.
2) Create temp file(s), called something like 00000003.1188 in
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp. These files are
the CAB files, I think, so they can be up to 2 GB each.
3) Copy temp files (e.g. 00000003.1188) from C:\Documents and
Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp to xvnt3tm8.
4) Remove 00000003.1188 from C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local
Settings\Temp
Here is the question:
How do I configure WIX NOT to store the temp file 00000003.1188 in
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp?
I would like to store it elsewhere, as there is more space on other disks.
To summarize: I know, that I can use envoronment variable WIX_TEMP, to
set where some temp files end up. The problem is the CAB-temp-files.
