Hello,

By default, the location of FME temporary files in the system temporary directory is on some Windows versions defaults to C:\\temp or under the user local temp directory (i.e. C:\\Users\\mark\\AppData\\Local\\Temp). There is a way to change the location of temp files using these methods : https://community.safe.com/s/article/fme-temp-environment-variable

The problem is we need administrator rights to make these manipulations. FME users doesn't have always the administration rights. In my case, setting the location right directly from the WorkBench (in the FME options menu for exemple) would be very helpful : Do you think it can be a good idea? Is there any project to ease the setting of FME Temp files in a future version of FME?

Thank a lot

As a workaround, you could test starting FME using a batch file, e.g.

set FME_TEMP=C:\temp\fme
"C:\Program Files\FME\fmeworkbench.exe"

It may or may not work, depending on your security settings.

Thanks a lot, this solution is working , no need of administration rights
