Hi everyone, I am still confused about what is going on with this: a testing machine (which uses the mechanism I described below quite often) now has >200 gigs of these.

I save to a temporarily location and overwrite any existing scratch but the temporary location is actually nowhere near the location I allude to nor is it named randomly, so ...

A colleague of mine noticed that in c:\users\[logged in user]\appdata\local\temp\ there are a bunch of randomly named folders with a attached.cab and an ux.cab seemingly for each bundle ever run. I take it the WiX bootstrapper application is creating these (given ux.cab has the PNGs from the WiX toolset, as far as I can tell)? What should be done to clean these up/what are these for, if anything? A colleague has ~170 gigabytes of them, which seems excessive even for repeated runs of the same bundle.exe.
