[opencms-dev] projectId of tempfileproject

[Yasuhisa Itoh]

Yes, I had changed "wizard.enabled" and re-run ocsetup on "GOOD"
system, but didn't tried on "BAD" systems. That reminds me.
This is not platform-dependent problen - I think also.
Today, I will try again on "BAD" systems.

Thank you for your great help!
