This article was previously published under Q34769 SYMPTOMS
An attempt to link an application fails and Microsoft LINK generates the
following message:
Temporary file .\xxxxxxxx has been created
Do not change diskette in drive C:
CAUSE
Not enough memory is available to link the application. The message appears
when the linker generates a file on disk and the disk does not have enough
room to hold the file. This situation occurs when the TMP environment
variable does not exist, when it specifies a nonexistent or full directory,
and when the disk that contains the directory is almost full.
If you are compiling an application with Microsoft FORTRAN and linking with
LINK version 3.55, reset the TMP environment variable to point to the root
directory of a hard disk. This procedure may clear the error. If the TMP
environment variable is set to a ramdrive or a network drive, setting it
to point to a subdirectory on a hard disk may help.
