SYMPTOMS
When you use the Get Temporary Filename script item, the variable that is returned does not contain the full path, it contains only the file name.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, obtain the latest version of Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer from the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/smsmgmt/downloads/



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server Installer version 1.0.



MORE INFORMATION
The Get Temporary Filename script item is used to obtain a unique temporary file name used during installation. These file names are often used to provide names for support .dll files that are not needed after the installation is complete.

A script example and its results:

item: Get Temporary Filename Variable=TFILE end item: Display Message Title=tfile Text=%tfile% Flags=00000100 end

The above script may produce a file name, such as "GLF18A.TMP," rather than the expected full path and file name.
