NOT ABLE TO FIND .NET FRAMEWORK 3.5 SP1 DEFAULT EXTRACT LOCATION IN MY COMPUTER

[monish]

Sir ,

 

 

 

Pls tell me where to find files which gets extracted when double clicking "dotnetfx35.exe" ???

 

ie Microsoft . NET Framework 3.5 Service pack 1 ( Full Package)

 

People say that folder get created in C:\ root ,

 

But in my case there is no such folder .. i have tested it by pausing the extraction process using 7-zip , and trying to find ..

 

but somewhere hidden , files are consuming space in C Drive

 

Ccleaner is not able to remove those files ..

 

 

Regards ,

Some Microsoft install packages and especially those from the Microsoft Update website will typically store the temporary setup files on the hard disk with the most free space available in a randomly created temporary folder name. It's usually a hidden folder in the root of a hard disk (not necessarily on the C: drive if you have another hard disk or hard disk partition with more free space available).

 

Examples:

H:\ebuegipsbleagesylntcy

P:\qwmiytenfpuytrsxzxnhji

Hi monish, and welcome to Piriform.

 

It might help in your search for unusual folders, as suggested by Andavari, if you do it with "Treesize".

 

Treesize: (Freeware Portable Version)

 

This will show the location and size of every folder (including hidden folders), on whichever hard drive you select.

 

Hope that helps.
