Field Summary tool temp file persistent error

Tried finding a topic on this, but could not (apologies if I did not search enough!)

Our firm uses alteryx designer on all of our machines. Regardless of what machine is running it, we always get an error with the field summary tool. The error is:

>Error: Field Summary (166): Tool #275: Tool #105: File not found "D:\Alteryx Temp >Directory\Engine_5832_f1ded0f019364b6aaf45e47f7388f0ad_\__temppath__.txt"

The tool still works despite the error, but it causes alarm to the analysts when an error pops up in our macros that use the field summary tool. Anyone have any ideas how we can fix this?

I'm going to guess it doesn't like the spaces in the name of your temp directory.

The macro I think needs to be fixed such that the command line arguments in RunCommand looks like:

/c echo %cd% > "%temp%__temppath.txt__"

(note the quotes)

looks like the path is invalid

did you override system setting in your wrokflow designer?

can you check the path and provide valid one?

it should be something like below path

C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\Engine

Our temp folder is setup on the d drive (HDD) rather than our C drive (SSD). Im not sure what specific setting you're asking me to change, but everything else seems to point to the right place. Only the field summary tool has this issue.
