I have found that if "c:Windows\temp" does not exist, then the vs2008 cassini redistributable won't install.

It seems to ignore the TEMP environment variable.

If TEMP does not exist, you get the error and event log message:

Service cannot be started. System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\haab62bw.tmp'.

Hi there!

ASP.NET code complier uses TEMP directory to generate binary assemblies from ASPX files and other web application assets. If Temp folder is missing, it can't continue. Unfortunately it is impossible for us to program around problems caused by random something being broken in the system - certain level of system integrity has to be assumed.

Here's where system (not user) temp folder path is specified:

Ah thanks, that's interesting.

This was a clean XP install on MS Virtual PC, so perhaps it's an issue with a virtual computer and not very "real world" as I've never seen a computer without a c:\windows\temp !

Actually, clean XP VM should be perfect for testing - we do that all the time. See if you can create another VM and whether it will have same problem. But the bottom line is that if system environment variable states that TEMP is at c:\windows\temp, the folder must exist. Otherwise many other bad things are likely to happen.
