I recently installed some Windows XP .Net SPs and updates as provided
through the Windows Update option. How can I tell where (and if) these
updates are actually installed? The reason I ask this is because I am
usinbg an addon removable USB HDD, and after installing thgese updates, I
see these items in some temporary folders (folders with the random-type
character-string names) on the USB drive, and they are takinbg up quite a
lot of space. I was wondering if I can delete these files or not. It seems
like a strange place for Windows to install these updates, since I can just
turn off the power to that drive at any time. Earlier .net updates did not
do anything like this when I installed them, and as well, the earlier ones
show an install date for each item, these latest only show a date for the
whole update package.
The updates are listed in the Add/Remove CPL, but the list does not say
where they are actually at. I would have thought these items would be in
the C:\Windows directories somewhere, not on a removable drive. Is there
any way to check?
I turned off the power to the drive and nothing happened, but then, I don;t
know exactly how I would check to see iuf it made a difference anyway. I
could still, for example, start up VB 8 Express with no problems.
How do I check where these updates are actually installed?
