If I use the finatic.Optimizers SMAC optimization method then an exception is showing up in the Log Viewer. The source of the exception is showing as nothing, but it seems it is the SMAC optimizer that is causing the exception. I did several SMAC optimization runs (and not do anything else while they were running) and got the following exception to occur each time:

I'm guessing C:\Temp is hardcoded somewhere. My TEMP environment variable is not set to C:\Temp.
The WL8 built-in Exhausitive optimization method, on the same strategy, does not cause an exception.
Wealth Lab build is 24.
finatics.Optimizers build is 2 (for WL8)

I agree, the WL code should be using the TEMP environmental variable by default.
Interesting. My TEMP and TMP environmental variables aren't set that way either. (I didn't know that.)
CODE:
SystemDrive=C: SystemRoot=C:\Windows TEMP=C:\Users\mehl\AppData\Local\Temp TMP=C:\Users\mehl\AppData\Local\Temp
This is not the WL code, it’s something that the optimizer code is doing.
Yes. This build of finantic.Optimizers has a hardcoded path C:\temp used for some temporary files.
Please create this folder as a temporary worksround and the exception will go away. We'll rectify things in a future build.
