After installing CDGSX5 I have a weird folder on my data drive, as you can see below.
Turns out it contains files for Microsoft XPS Document Writer.
What added it? Was it the corel installer? Was it the .Net update? or maybe 1 of the 4 patches I had to get for the new .Net? Anyone know?
Whatever put that folder there, the root of my E drive is not a good place for it.
Hi.
Looks like setup files for .net install. Microsoft usually does that.

It looks like it is left over from the .net 3.5 setup. I don't know why the .net adds a printer driver.
It appeared after install of X5 because the first thing the X5 installer did was add .net 3.5 & reboot.
I've simply deleted the folder since the printer these files would install is already installed. Pretty sure it's just leftover that should have been cleaned up but was left behind. Why it's in that particular location doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. It's gone now.
Still wonder what the printer is for though, not sure exactly what a XPS document is or why I'd need one...

It's just the extracted setup for the installer. Many Microsoft downloadable patches and installers do the same. It extracts the contents to a drive other than C to make things go a little faster. It's supposed to be deleted automatically after install but something may have interrupted it.
