SignUp Now!Why would it?
Perhaps because 14.00.16 was uninstalled?
Are we supposed to collect 1+ megabyte TCMD.MSI files forever? ... with more in \windows\installer?
Did you uninstall 14.00.16 before installing 14.00.17, or did you tell the installer to delete previous versions?
Ask Microsoft -- it's their program. There is nothing in the installer script that's doing it.
If you don't want the files, and you don't ever need to repair your installation, then delete them.
Every time I install, I check the radio button that says "remove only the [N - 1] version". They are never removed. There is no mechanism for rolling back to a previous version; the only version that can be repaired is the most recent one. The only registry keys that mention those (18, now) directories (16 with MSI files) are the ones that mention the most recent minor version numbers. What good are those directories and MSI files? Can't you delete the "Take Command N.0 N.0.M" tree when you install version N.0.M+1?
And I really doubt it can be blamed on MS's installer. I doubt the installer stores MSI files in APPDATA by default. Those 15 TCMD.MSI files are the only MSI files in my APPDATA tree. If the installer were doing that routinely, there would be an uproar.
I have 73 .MSI files in my APPDATA, only four are TCMD. Apparently most people aren't as exorcised about the files as you.
No. I could delete *everything* there, but I cannot delete individual versions when I cannot know what those versions are.
I suppose the other 69 are for versions of the Caphyon Advanced Installer! :-) [Couldn't resist]I have 73 .MSI files in my APPDATA, only four are TCMD. Apparently most people aren't as exorcised about the files as you.
Ask Microsoft? This isn't Microsoft's installer - it's Caphyon's. Sure, it uses the MSI format but it's up to Caphyon to build the script properly. It does seem wrong that Caphyon doesn't remove the MSI remnants when a version is upgraded.Ask Microsoft -- it's their program. There is nothing in the installer script that's doing it.
