cannot create a temporary file during linking

[Pavel Seleznev]

Hello,

Sometimes when I get error "cannot create a temporary file: no such file or directory" and I delete files like chrome.exe/chrome.dll/chrome.dll.rsp/chrome.7z and start compilation again.

But today I have tried several times without luck and decided to ask advice.

In parallel folder the same sources have build successfully.

Temp folder is empty.

What can be the reason of error?

Regards,

Pavel

found the reason, some application has changed Temp from AppData\Local\Temp to AppData\Local\Temp\2

so, the full description

* I am using RDP to connect the build machine (Windows 2019 Server)

* I have disabled separate temporary folders according to
