Failed to determine location for extracting embedded files

[genifycom]

Using single publish file with DotNet 3.0.100 under Windows 10.

Installed machines sometime run under regular command prompt but sometimes we get:

Failure processing application bundle.
Failed to determine location for extracting embedded files
A fatal error was encountered. Could not extract contents of the bundle

In this case, we have to run an Administrative command prompt.

Is this expected behavior or something else? How to debug this?

You can set COREHOST_TRACE=1 which will produce a lot of diagnostics output to stderr which should contain the underlying reason why it failed. You can also add COREHOST_TRACEFILE=t.log to redirect the diag output to a file.

@genifycom this is definitely not expected behavior.
Can you please check that %TEMP% directory is accessible and writable by all users (the default configuration)?

If you can collect the trace for a failing run (as @vitek-karas pointed out above), it would be helpful to root-cause the problem. Thanks.

Closing this out until we can get a log or repro
