Answer» I've watched these files in the F:
I did not install it . but last software i installed is office 2007 I did not understand how that happens. And can i delete them safely ?I'd ask whoever else uses the machine...%100 no body It appears they may be remnants from the Visual C + + COMPONENTS of Office... If you have re-booted a few times and Office is operating properly they can safely be deleted...It looks like somebody, or something, has installed an application which uses the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime LIBRARY with first (RTM) version which has a bug, namely that it installs its TEMPORARY files in the system root directory and not the temp folder as it should.
Quote VCRedist from VC++ 2008 installs temporary files in system root directory
Action:
INSTALLING the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (VCRedist_x86.exe, VCRedist_x64.exe, VCRedist_ia64.exe) for Visual Studio 2008 RTM.
Result:
Following files are generated on the system root directory :
install.exe install.res.1028.dll install.res.1031.dll install.res.1033.dll install.res.1036.dll install.res.1040.dll install.res.1041.dll install.res.1042.dll install.res.2052.dll install.res.3082.dll vcredist.bmp globdata.ini install.ini eula.1028.txt eula.1031.txt eula.1033.txt eula.1036.txt eula.1040.txt eula.1041.txt eula.1042.txt eula.2052.txt eula.3082.txt vc_redist.msi vc_redist.cab
Cause:
These temporary files are erroneously generated by the installer into the system root directory instead of the temp directory.
Resolution:
These files are unnecessary and can be safely deleted from the system. The FUNCTIONING of the runtime library will not be affected by this. Its [sic] a known bug and is planned to be fixed in VS2008 SP1.
