Hi,
I have a situation where there are gigabytes of text data in a directory that is part of my file hierarchy, that looks like it is being backed up or moved when we do the installation.
The directory in question is marked as 'permanent' in properties as we do not wish for any of the data to be overwritten.
Any ideas?
Regards,
John
This from a colleague: - 'CIM MSI backups the BTS directory (or specified Program Location directory) to AI_RecycleBin
Details This is problematic on large systems such as ICT which contains 300GB of raw data which slows the installation considerably or runs the drive out of space. If the installation is cancelled part way through the AI_RecycleBin isn't tidied up so it has to be manually removed.
This may also be the case for other MSI's as I've seen this before but didn't know the cause.'
