<p>I have a .NET web app that uses CR 2008 for reports.  The server it's deployed on is saddled with McAfee, and we want to tell CR to use a temp directory other than the Windows temp dir.</p>

<p>Google found me the following registry key:</p>

<p>SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Report Application Server\InprocServer\TempDir.</p>

<p>Adding this key does result in CR creating a bunch of temp files in the directory I specified.  However, at the end of the report run I get an "Operation not yet implemented" exception.</p>

<p>I'm trying to return a PDF to the browser via ExportToHttpRequest(), which works just fine if I don't change the In-process server's tempdir.</p>

<p>Has anyone run into this before?  I've already given the local ASPNET account full control of the new tempdir.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

Ran into the same exact problem after trying to set the TempDir registry key.  PDF export started failing although all other report exports (apparently) work.  </p>\n\n<p>However, at a client site running IIS6, this redirection of temp files to a dedicated directory works fine.  By default, on their site, Crystal Reports uses the directory</p>\n\n<p>C:\\Program Files\\Business Objects\\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\\Data</p>\n\n<p>as its temp storage location, and gives the ASP.NET account adequate privileges to create and remove files there.  So perhaps there is some hardwired logic that mandates that the files be created within the CR installation directory hierarchy.  In other words, this all worked as expected by default after CR installation under IIS6.</p>\n\n<p>For release 12, obviously the directory would be slightly different.</p>\n'}, {'answer_id': 1678930, 'author': 'Kashif Rana', 'author_id': 203238, 'author_profile': 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/203238', 'pm_score': 2, 'selected': False, 'text': "<p>The other temp directory than C:/windows/temp should be located in your web site's virtual directory.
