I have searched google and this forum for "set temp path", "temp directory", "how to set temp path" along with a few others...no luck or I am not searching correctly.

I also looked at the reference section of the guide as well but no luck.

So, could someone help answer or point me to how & where to set the path location of the TEMP and TMP file for an unattended install?

For example: I want Drive Z with 3 gigs of space to be the drive my temp and tmp directorys are written to. (to reduce fragmentation on my main disk)

This question has been driving me nuts tonight.

One option is to use setenv.exe in a batch file, see here

Thanks Dahi!

Change the properties in Windows then export the following registry keys;

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment]

"TEMP"="D:\\TEMP"

"TMP"=hex(2):44,00,3a,00,5c,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,50,00,00,00

i use the below in my regtweaks.reg file held in the $OEM$ folder and it works a treat for all users

; Set Location for Temp files
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment]
"TEMP"="c:\\Temp"
"TMP"="c:\\Temp"
