Allow to specify an extract installers path other than c:\windows\temp{....} Sometimes it is not possible to write to C:\ or there is not enough free space.

Hi @widsuoids,

This is a great suggestion. The Module uses the GetTempPath() method which checks for the existence of environment variables in the following order and returns the first path found:

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.

If it is not possible to write to C:\ or there is not a enough space, as a workaround, you can change or set the TMP/TEMP environment variable to a different location and the setups will be extracted to that location.

Thanks, Cameron K.
