tmp during link

When I compile and link via dos command line I get the message,
TMP directory C:windows emp does not exist use local directory.
and I can hear the program trying to access the a: drive. It then goes about its way and does the link OK.

How can I fix this? I plan to do quite a few compiles and links and don't want it to give this warning

You have the TMP system environment variable pointing to a non-existent directory. Best and easiest thing to do is create C:Windows emp. Alternative is to change the definition of TMP (and TEMP) to point to some other directory that exists.

Created c: mp c: emp and c:windows mp The directory it is looking for is
c:windows emp see attached.

I also changed the dfvars.bat file to micros~1 and have rebooted with same results. see old path from dfvars.bat

At this point, I don't know what's wrong and am not sure why you changed DFVARS.BAT (or what you changed it to.) From a command prompt, do a SET command - what does it show as the values for TMP and TEMP?

Steve,
I am attaching the list of the set command. I checked the set and it looked OK to me. That is why I can't understand it. It says it cannot find c:windows emp when it is there and I can see files in that directory. this is part of a program called Aspen and I am in contact with them about this.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas. If you still have the problem after upgrading to the current supported version, 6.6, let us know at vf-support@compaq.com
