Solve : I did not do it?

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.

Office 2007 using Visual Studio 2008... Time travel is a reality!

Well - I will delete them
While taking a backup copy
