[FX.php List] No GC (Garbage Collection) in IIS installation

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Back with some more answers....

I don't think that it was finding the folder as C:\WINDOWS\Temp.

When I changed  the slahes to :C:/WINDOWS/Temp/, I got a permissions 
error. Note, I had also added a trailing slash. Nit sure if it 
matters.

So maybe it actually found the right folder and just needs permissions set.

Stay tuned...
