How to fix MSB8029: Intermediate directory or Output directory cannot reside under the Temporary directory in VS2013

Question

Visual Studio complains with each compile about with warning MSB8029: The Intermediate directory or Output directory cannot reside under the Temporary directory as it could lead to issues with incremental build.

I was checking the projects and changed Output Directory and Intermediate Directory but I still got the message for each project in my solution.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

I found the answer - I was missing Environment variables. After adding them and rebooting the problem has gone.

1. Be sure that the Intermediate and Output directory do not reside under the Temporary directory! If the problem still persists:
2. Go to Environment Variables (Start->Computer->right click->Properties->Advanced system settings->Tab Advanced->Environment Variables)
3. Add to User Variables Variable Name: TEMP, Variable value: %APPDATA%\Local\Temp
4. Add to User Variables Variable Name: TMP, Variable value: %APPDATA%\Local\Temp
5. Add to System Variables Variable Name: TEMP, Variable value: C:\Windows\Temp
6. Add to System Variables Variable Name: TMP, Variable value: C:\Windows\Temp
