Description Michael Herger 2009-01-13 21:07:52 UTC

Windows binaries are basically perl interpreters with all the modules bound to them. This package is extracted at runtime to a temporary folder. For performance reasons the binary doesn't clean up that temporary folder, which can lead to SC trying to load outdated modules.

We should disable that caching to get more robust updates at the cost of slightly slower startup times.

Ugh... already did this two months ago (change 23882)
