I don't know about you,  but I find the way MS dumps all these uninstall directories 
at the top of their OS base directory extremely annoying. 

Has anyone had any experiences with attempting to move it?

I haven't found anything on the net, or here,  so I am beginning to guess that I 
might be alone.  I am assuming that the only way to move this directory is a reghack, 
but if someone out there had done it before and had advice,  I am keen to hear it.

TIA

You can safely move these files to any location you wish just using a cut and paste, however, remember where you put them in case you need to uninstall a patch, and also, I do not know of an easy way to change the default location Windows saves them to reliably. myself, i just move them to a different drive periodically...

You can delete them without any problem but you won't be able to uninstall if there 
was ever a need.





On all of my users machines at work I always delete them.  I leave them on my machine 
and all of my servers though. (Just in case)
