On my PC running Windows Vista, in the "C\Program Files\Common Files\Wise Installation Wizard" folder, there are several very large .MSI files. What are these files, and can they be safely deleted? Thanks. Don't believe anything I tell you, unless it is consistent with what you already know to be true, or unless you have taken the time to research the matter to prove its accuracy to your satisfaction. This is known as "doing your homework." |

Definitely not in Anything Goes. I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. |

 And no...I'm not anti-Windows at all - just anti-Vista. Way too many hours spent wrestling with that OS |

All that said, my next desktop system will not be another Windows box. I'll probably get a Mac Mini or an iMac.

I still have Vista on my computer downstairs - but have given up caring about it. Win 7 will eventually take its place. If it works for you - that's absolutely all that matters.
