autobanned 0 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Hello pals, I want to ask about file security, cause many of our server run windows Server 2008 and 2012 with file security installed have so many temporary file on a folder C:\Windows\Installer. The file size is growing from time to time, even with deleting, it will just come back by itself. Currently i just read about this to fix on win server 2008 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2388997/temporary-files-are-left-in-the-c-windows-installer-folder-when-you-qu and tried to install the hot fix, i'll try to install the hotfix, but for windows server 2012 i have no idea. Have anyone experienced this issue, and please let me know hot to solve it. Thx in advice, cheers Edited December 10, 2019 by autobanned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted December 10, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2019 I assume that this should have been posted rather in the general forum since you're not referring to temporary files created by ESET but to files created in c:\windows\installer by Windows Installer. Deleting the content of the folder would prevent you from uninstalling applications using Windows Installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autobanned 0 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Thx for your replies marcos, but when i checked the tmp files, it was digitally signed by ESET, so i just think it was something related to Eset rather than Windows.

Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted December 10, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2019 Perhaps it was just a coincidence that you checked an ESET msi file. Try checking details of other randomly chosen msi files. I have 220 msi files there and 360 msp files which are Office updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
