org-latex preview on Windows

[Jeremie Juste <jeremiejuste@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone,

I have had difficulties using  org-latex-preview to run properly on Windows.
The main issue seems to be that the user name on windows gets abbreviated
with ~. As far as I understand this generate problems as the temporary
folder cannot be found.

see for instance these posts
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/70119

and an old post from Vincente Vera
https://list.orgmode.org/CAMfbzvDPLS1eqXJ=7TZH1035Z3Vq4q4-yJMqsVBcGxzP8kDUjw@mail.gmail.com/

Vincente, suggests altering the temporary environment variable
(setenv "TEMP" "C:\Temp"). I have tried this option and place it in my
.init file but the Temporary file in org-mode uses does not change. 


As a work around I modified the function org-compile-file in lisp/org/
org-macs.el
by adding altering the source variable as such

 (let* ((source (replace-regexp-in-string "JEREMI~1" "JeremieJuste"
source))

This is obviously not an ideal solution but I cannot find any other
solution immediately. Have someone else come across the same issue on
Windows? Do you have any suggestions?

Best regards,
Jeremie
