Hi! I have a slight problem. I have a set of applications that I'd like to install on a series of thinclients. The problem is that when the installation package unpack it's files, it puts it in a temporary folder under the current users Local Settings folder, which is on a tiny little 16mb drive. So, if I could move this temp folder, I'd be able to install software whose installation files exceeds 16mb. Does anyone have any idea of how to do this? Thanks in advance

Heres how to change it, http://www.ghacks.net/2007/07/11/sp... Only problem you would have is if the installation pointed to a specific directory but other then that it should work.
