Option to Change Default Temporary Download from %WinDir%\temp to a Custom Folder

We received a request today from a customer about this feature. Today, we download updates and application content to %WinDir%\temp during the publishing operations. After publishing this content is deleted, however, there are some scenarios where customizing this root level folder would be helpful. Some examples include:

  • Disk space on the C:\ Drive
  • AV exclusions and not wanting to exclude %WinDir%\temp\*
  • Attach files
