The hard disk is filled by installbuilder when compiling

Hi,

When InstallBuilder is opened in GUI mode or Builder-cli is executed in a batch script in Windows, the user's temporary folder is filled by installbuilder binaries with directories named BRLXXXXXX that are not deleted after the command finishes or the GUI is closed. In a CI environment, Installbuilder fills the temporary disk very quickly. Is there anyway for each instance of Installbuilder to control its temporary directories and delete them at some point? Think that we have several instances of Installbuilder at the same time.

Best regards,

Ion

Hi Ion,

Unfortunately it's not possible to delete those files during an installation. It's possible to set the temp folder with the BITROCK_TEMP_FOLDER environment variable:

      BITROCK_TEMP_FOLDER=/path/to/temp ./installer.run

Regards,

Michiel
