Windows Installer Leaving Language .bin files Behind as Trash?
I think it’s the current version of Windows Installer. Microsoft has never been known for cleaning up after themselves after installs, but come on, guys.
Every time I do anything that involves Windows Installer I have all of these language .bin files left behind in my temp folder (which for me is C:\Temp, nice and easy to get to - not C:\Documents and Settings\%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp).
These files are, to name a few, Turkish.bin, Norwegian.bin, Hungarian.bin, Hebrew.bin; useless files for an American speaking English thank you very much.
Some poor, understaffed, not-too-bright software publishing company I might give a pass to, but Microsoft? How many of you still have directories on C: root that look like a random character string? Those are probably from a “much needed” XML Parser update.
Happy Pet Peave day.
