Hi;

I have a little problem with the Addon "WIN32_VC11++_RUNTIMES_3.1_ADDON.CAB". This addon will place the temp files/folder

{18637763-c8e5-4c49-ba8a-b854367f6b55}

dd_vcredist_x86_*.log

MSta*.LOG

into "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User" and "C:\Documents and Settings\MyNormalUserAccount".

SuperLOL,

 

This is the default behaviour of the original MS installer.

The addon installs the slimmed and repacked redistributable.

The temp folder is (un)install routine and is also cached as such.

If i extract the installer from the "*.cab" file and install it manually after the Windows XP installation then this files/folder will be put in the Windows Temp folder and not in the UserProfile Root folder.

I now use a batch script at RunOnce to fix this:

ECHO.ECHO Cleaning up Microsoft Visual C++ 11 Temporary Files...MOVE "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\{18637763-c8e5-4c49-ba8a-b854367f6b55}" "%Temp%" 2>NULMOVE /Y "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\dd_vcredist_x86_*.log" "%Temp%" >NUL 2>&1MOVE /Y "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\MSI*.LOG" "%Temp%" >NUL 2>&1RMDIR "%UserProfile%\{18637763-c8e5-4c49-ba8a-b854367f6b55}" 2>NULDEL "%UserProfile%\dd_vcredist_x86_*.log" 2>NULDEL "%UserProfile%\MSI*.LOG" 2>NUL
