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.
