Hi,
I have a need to add a component into windows temp folder. How to specify this in the component table.
If i specify "[windowsfolder]Temp" as a directory name in component table. It is not adding the component into the windows temp folder.

Can any body suggest how to specify the windows temp directory in component table.

Thanks

NEVER install files to the temp folder with a hard coded GUID! This can cause cyclic windows installer self repair when the temp folder is cleaned. If you have afile you need to use during the installation you can add it into the "Support files" view in Installshield. The files put there should be available in the temp folder during installation.
