error: Failed to create temp folder.

[Saborknight]

This issue has already been highlighted in #16 and #76 where @KoffeinFlummi said, in both cases, that the issue was fixed... and yet I am getting this error on a new computer with the latest armake version on Windows.

The full error:

  [14:28:48] Creating PBO core
error: Failed to create temp folder.

I get this error on two separate projects using the same build script. In both cases absolutely all addons fail to build because of this error. I'm running the script on an elevated powershell prompt.

The same happens when I try and manually run armake:

.\armake.exe build --force -k "D:\[...]\.build\@2BNB Framework\keys\bnb_f_v0.0.1-gd55a5e7.biprivatekey" -e prefix=x\bnb_f\addons\core "D:\[...]\addons\core" "D:\[...]\2bnb_framework\.build\@2BNB Framework\addons\bnb_f_core.pbo"

The error message:

error: Failed to create temp folder.

I've found that omitting the -e prefix=... header allows the command to work seamlessly... I don't understand what I'm doing wrong with the prefix header then?

My problem is solved, per-se

[Saborknight]

Turns out I need that header, otherwise the mod isn't using the correct prefixes. So, what is it I'm doing wrong?
