A software bug $envTemp

The Toolkit General Discussion
1

The Toolkit variable $envTemp provides incorrect information.
Example :

Copy-File -Path "$dirSupportFiles\*.*” -Destination "$envTemp\tempfiles"
 returns
Copy-File -Path …\supportfiles\*.*  -Destination ...\Temp\\tempfiles

return with an extra \ after temp
Workaround:
$env:Temp

It is not a bug it just might not be what you expected.

$envTemp is a result of calling GetTempPath, which returns the first working path in this list:

  1. The path specified by the TMP environment variable.
  2. The path specified by the TEMP environment variable.
  3. The path specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable.
  4. The Windows directory.

Correct.

Open powershell and run than [IO.Path]::GetTempPath()
Result C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\

In the toolkit you cannot use $envtemp\BackUp this gives you after result of calling GetTempPath() c:\Temp\\Backup

Just tested it. Returns correct value running under user admin. Other than trailing backslash in the variables I see no issue here.

Running under system yields similar results.
