Re: Patch tuesday debris

["Steven Scheffler" <steven () forwardslash com>]

This happens sometimes. The (MSI3) installer doesn't clean up the
temporary folder. The syntax is something similar:

 

msxml4-KB927978-enu /q REBOOT=ReallySuppress /l*v c:\KB927978.log

 

Where the last part is the path to the log file

Yes, there seems to have been some debris left from this one.   (Based
on a look at 5 systems)

 

No errors to speak of.

My folder is named c:\6ad0c137abd5117c8e8326 , and my file is named 
msxml4-KB927978-enu.log

I just checked 2 random machines at the office, and they both have
similar directories with the same log file. My assumption would be that
it's just sloppy installation leaving files rolling around...
