After updating my vim version I am getting the error below:

E484: Can't open file C:\Users\....\AppData\Local\Temp\VIoCC2F.tmp

I am using GVIM on windows with the WSL subsytem. It looks like the way the escape sequences work has changed.

So what is in that particular line of your .vimrc? Might already be
fixed by 8.1.1239

Best,

Under windows 10, gvim.8.1.1239 launched in administrator or not, there is a change using system func like that:
let g:Explorer_RubyLibName = 'msvcrt-ruby260.dll'
let try1=system('which '.g:Explorer_RubyLibName)

It causes this kind of error accessing temp file:
E484: Can't open file C:\Users\FOO~1.BAR\AppData\Local\Temp\VIoC1
0E.tmp

Hi,

Can you bisect to find the offending patch?

Sorry I tried to rollback until 8.1.1210 but since I got this kind of errors (attached) I cannot bisect.

Hi,

Then, can you edit proto/usercmd.pro and change "compl" to "complp" manually?

It's between 8.1.1229 ans 8.1.1230.

That must be the VIMDLL change then.

Hi,

That's too bad.
Unfortunately, I cannot repoduce this yet.
Does this simple case work?

gvim --clean
:echo system('dir')

Does the problem occur only with gvim? not on vim.exe?

Ah! `gui.in_use` is not set when system() is executed from _vimrc.
How about the attached patch?

Tested OK with the above modifications!

Changing all gui.in_use by (gui.in_use || gui.starting) in os_win32.c
