    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink install.dat file keeps popping up onto my windows 11 computer after deleting ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

    need some help opening a .dat file.....

    I don't know if will help, but I noticed in a thread someone (@chefsuccess.com) mentioned, that, you need to use the restore to import the file.

    I don't use the software, so, I have no idea on the steps/procedure.

    Goodluck*Smile install.dat file keeps popping up onto my windows 11 computer after deleting :)

    EDIT:

    Dam* those how-to web sites have everything.
