SQL Toolbelt installer can require up to 280 megabytes of free space in which to extract temporary installation files. How can I change the temporary directory used by the SQL Toolbelt installer?

Run the installer from the command line with the "temp" argument pointing to a different drive/directory.

For example:

C:\>SQLToolbelt.exe temp d:\testing

The temporary files will be extracted to D:\testing and the installer will launch using those temporary files.
