Notes
If TEMP is set, TEMP is used. Otherwise, if TMP is set, this is
used. If neither TEMP nor TMP are set, temporary files are written
in the directories described in the table above.
When using triggers on Windows, %formfile% and other variables that use
a temp directory should use the TMP and TEMP system variables in
Windows, not the user’s TEMP variables.
