Do you mean the locally cached files from a Web Deployment Package?

I mean the locally cached files from any type of setup, web deployed, or locally run,compressed single exe
The MSI files are being cached under the users \\localSettings\\Temp directory(at least in my test environment)
I think this happens so the source directory can be defined and repair and or maintenance activities can be run from the local machine, But I would like to ensure that this cannot be done from any users directory on the local machine...

thanks

Any files cached in the temp directory under a mia* folder are removed upon finishing the install, at least thats what I have confirmed in all of my test environments.

in my test environment, running a compressed exe
the folder mia* under documentsandsettings\\userXYZ\\localsetting\\temp still exist after reboot, as well as a msi123.log and cached copies of the msi and exe...

Did I neglect to do something in my script?

Can you create a minimum project that exhibits this behavior in a reproducible fashion?
