Get the current temporary directory path in VBScript?

Question

The VB trick to get the path of the current temporary directory:

Private Declare Function GetTempPath Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTempPathA" (ByVal nBufferLength As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long

fails in VBScript. So?

Answer 1

WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetSpecialFolder(2)

It took me a while to find it on Google. So for the next one looking for the same as me...

Answer 2

Const WindowsFolder = 0

Const SystemFolder = 1

Const TemporaryFolder = 2

Dim fso: Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Dim tempFolder: tempFolder = fso.GetSpecialFolder(TemporaryFolder)

Answer 3

Another possibility:

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%Temp%")
