Bug report: TMP/TEMP addressless Junction disturbs Windows Update.

After uninstalling ImDisk Toolkit,
the directory that should be returned remains as an addressless junction.
TEMP=C:\PROGRA~3\Temp
TMP=C:\PROGRA~3\Temp
If you run Windows update in this state, it will fail.
In fact, it's even worse: there is no Temp folder in this configuration.
The problem is it's very difficult to determine all possible situations and what the user had in mind...
A solution could be to add an option in the uninstaller to set the TEMP variables to their default values. I will add that in the next release.
Yes, if I do not select
[v] Use R:\TEMP
when configuring ImDisk Toolkit, it's maybe ok.
How about deleting the "junction" and move back the original TEMP in the uninstaller?
Windows Update: Some process is working when reboot. It's not the stage the ImDisk Toolkit is ready.
It took me a while to figure out why Windows Update was giving me an 0x80070001 error... I even resorted to reinstall Windows and do tests on a VM.
In my case, to get Windows Update working again I had to remove the virtual drive that I created, "A:\Temp" in my case. Even resetting the Temp environment variables to default doesn't seem to help.
