Notes
The
temp-dirconfig key was already fully documented indocs/src/content/docs/reference/cli-commands.mdandpackages/apm-guide/.apm/skills/apm-usage/commands.md. This PR fills the gap in the installation guide's Windows troubleshooting section, which is where users experiencing the[WinError 5]error are most likely to land.
