It depends on local settings. In my XP I get c:\documents and setting ... It is the default setting.

Ops, I was not aware to be in the Fivewin for Clipper forum. Yes, I tried with FWH. With Clipper I get c:\windows\temp.

Or you can use the following API call to get the windows temp folder
function get_temp()
local tbuffer:=space(256)
gettemppath(256,@tbuffer)
tbuffer := LEFT(tbuffer,AT(CHR(0),tbuffer)-1)
return(tbuffer)
DLL32 Function GetTempPath( bufferlen as LONG, tbuffer AS LPSTR) AS LONG ;
PASCAL FROM "GetTempPathA" LIB "kernel32.dll"

Philippe,
It is a Windows issue. Under 16 bits GetEnv( "TEMP" ) returns "c:\windows\temp" and under 32 bits GetEnv( "TEMP" ) return "c:\documents and settings\<username>\...\temp"
Even if you try it this way, you get the different results:
Code: Select all
#include "FiveWin.ch"
function Main()
local cValue := Space( 256 )
MsgInfo( GetEnv( "TEMP" ) )
GetEnvironmentVariable( "TEMP", cValue, Len( cValue ) )
MsgInfo( cValue )
return nil
DLL32 FUNCTION GetEnvironmentVariable( cName AS LPSTR, cValue AS LPSTR, nLen AS LONG ) ;
AS LONG PASCAL FROM "GetEnvironmentVariableA" LIB "kernel32.dll"

That's strange under Win 2000 i get the user temp path, I am however logged in as an admin of the local machine.
