This is not only a windows issue. 
For me as a linux user is it even more important, because the temp 
folder is deleted on boot per default (which is a good thing usually).
My personal workaround on linux is to copy the version.txt file 
on /etc/init.d/tiles-gen-client stop to the tilesAtHome folder and copy 
it back when /etc/init.d/tiles-gen-client start is executed.
I agree, that the file version.txt has to be in the tilesAtHome folder 
and not in the temp folder.
