I am experiencing a very similar situation to that described in Bug 1219.  I have several users who have been using my program on Windows 7 and Windows 8 without any problems, but now on Windows 10, most of them get the same error messages as in Bug 1219 ("Caught Exception while retrieving executable temp base directory").  The people reporting this problem (so far) are all running in a corporate environment, so my they have very restricted access permissions (no admin permissions for example) and can not change anti-virus settings if they are interfering.

I am using JOGL 2.3.2 and the users seem to have recent builds of Java 8.  I tried to run the demos (no luck) and so, I ran the test_dbg.bat file that comes with the "jogamp-all-platforms" distribution.  I've attached the resulting log file.  It appears to me that JOGL is trying to run a "jogamp_exe_tst*.exe" file and this is being blocked (either by permissions or by anti-virus, I can't tell; and I my users can't change either themselves -- would have to involve IT department).
test_dbg.zip

Is there any work-around?

Thanks.
