Temporary files should not default to C:\

Temporary files should not default to C:\

In 2016 you could override Temporary files in the deployment wizard but there is no option in the 2017. The 2017 Moldflow products default the Temporary files to the C drive. Creating new folders at the root outside of the Windows normal structure is an IT bad practice. Also my company has an IT policy against this.

 

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\Moldflow Insight\2017\Environment
    • Name = MFSYN_TMP
    • Value = C:\AMI 2017 Temporary Files\
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\Moldflow Adviser\2017\Environment
    • Name = MPA_TMP
    • Value = C:\AMA 2017 Temporary Files\
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\Moldflow Communicator\2017\Environment
    • Name = MFRV_TMP
    • Value = C:\AMC 2017 Temporary Files\

 

Please restore the ability to override the location during install/deployment.

Also use a proper default path, such as "%TEMP%\AMI2017Temp" for Insight.
