About iSIGHT Description Files and Temporary Directories

The name of the temporary execution directory must contain only valid characters to guarantee execution of the iSIGHT component.

The name of the temporary execution directory must not contain any of the following:

  • spaces

  • semicolons (;)

  • ampersands (&)

While many iSIGHT description files can execute properly when running from directories that contain spaces, not all combinations of options have been tested. On Windows operating systems, the default temporary directory for Isight execution is in the Documents and Settings directory, which contains spaces. For information about how to change this directory setting, see Changing the Isight Default Execution Directory.
