  Last tuesday's updates (which I deferred installing until yesterday) left 
a folder on my HD, called "C:\c0772dab3463959f7c", containing a log file, 
msxml6-KB927977-enu-x86.log, which contains install logging details for the 
msxml patch.

My folder is named c:\6ad0c137abd5117c8e8326 , and my file is named
msxml4-KB927978-enu.log

  Did everyone get this (or perhaps a similarly-named folder with a 
different hex number)?  If absolutely everyone ended up with this it's 
probably just M$ being careless, but if not it might mean something failed 
during install and that's why it didn't clean up properly.

I just checked 2 random machines at the office, and they both have
similar directories with the same log file. My assumption would be that
it's just sloppy installation leaving files rolling around...

    cheers,
