VC++ Compilation problem

[Aashath]

Hi All,

This is regarding VC++ 6.0 compilation problem that i have faced .

I deleted my "Temp" folder and trying to compile my code , but VC++ doesnt allow me to compile my code without that folder .can anyone help me in this ? why VC++ requires temp folder to be present for its compilation ...?

Do you mean you deleted c:\temp ? Very Very bad thing to do because many other programs use that too for storing temporary files. Re-create that folder and the compiler will be happy.

It you check the environment settings you will probably find one called TEMP=c:\temp. That's what programs look at to find out where the temp directory is located. If you delete that folder without making changes to the TEMP environment setting your computer will be in big big trouble.
