hi,

i have a problem with the logging block of the enterprise library. i want
it to write a simple flat file, which it does perfectly; but i need it to
write to a user-writable location.
our use machines are set up so that users have write access to their own
folder in \documents and settings\, and nothing else.
i've set the logfile name in the config to be:
%TEMP%\error.log
but all i get (when run as a privileged user) is a folder created in the
application directory named "%TEMP%", and the logfile in there.

does anyone know how to get environment variables working, without me
having to hardcode it?

TIA,

aaron

We use environment variables in custom-build steps successfully using:

$(ENV_VAR)\rest_of_path\file
