[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59822] Document Viewer error on Windows systems

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #59822 (project octave):


[comment #4 comment #4:]
> @Torsten:
> I found that for <F9> %TMP% is critical (not %TEMP%); on that apparently
overly sensitive (virtual) desktop at work it must be set to
%APPDATA%\Local\Temp.
> It seems that some temp/tmp locations apparently offer insufficient
permissions for users.
> 
> I get the exact same popup message and the doc browser pane is empty. I saw
no errors during installation - maybe as expected as libsqlite3-0.dll was
copied over.
> At home I haven't installed that Octave version yet (I usually run
development crossbuilds directly from the <mxe-octave>/dist/>octave> subdir
(the linux partition is readable in Windows using the ext2fsd program)). Maybe
I should try to install it to see if I get this issue as well then.
> As confirmation: With a fresh W11 installation document loading failed and
octave 7.1.0 crashed on exit. After setting TMP in my user env to
%APPDATA%\..\local\temp (APPDATA now refers to the roaming folder), both
problems were solved right away.
