Hello,

I try to get the value of the TEMP variable under Win XP.

Its value is

c:\documents and settings\user ... etc

But when I use GetEnv, it returns a path like

c:\docume~1\user\... etc ...

Anybody a clue whats wrong ?

Hi!

Anybody a clue whats wrong ?

There's nothing wrong, except that the variables only return the paths on 8.3 notation.

but I need the full notation for further use of the path.

So I have to find another solution ?

Hi!
Maybe wxFileName::CreateTempFileName() could be of some help?
