Resolving Publishing Errors on Windows

You can set the environment variable TEMP to avoid errors when using the SIMULIA Execution Engine publishall program.

When running programs on Windows, your user name is part of the default temporary directory path C:\Program Files\user_name\Local Settings\Temp.

If the path to the temporary directory contains any of the following characters:

$ @ # & % ? !

the Java ClassLoader cannot read files in that directory and the SIMULIA Execution Engine publishall program will produce the following error:

cannot open super metamodel 
com.engineous.component.Plugin

If your user name contains any of the restricted characters listed above, you can avoid this problem by setting the environment variable TEMP to point to a directory that does not contain any special characters (such as C:\temp). For more information on setting this environment variable, contact your local system administrator.
