On Windows: db setup fails if C:\tmp\ does not exist already #15

Closed torogi94 closed 2 years ago

Hi!
When using localpdb on Windows machines, where C:\tmp\ does typically not exist, the setup of the local image fails (as no log file can be created there). It works when the tmp folder is manually created, though.

Hi @torogi94 and thanks for sharing your observation. I must admit that localpdb wasn't tested thoroughly on Windows systems. We had an undocumented option to set the custom temporary file location, which now I made more visible both in the code and in the documentation. For now I'll close the ticket, feel free to open a new one in case you'll have further problems.
