When MNC is first run, it makes sure a bunch of VC++ runtime libraries are installed and fires up an extractor if they're not. My question is, where is everything extracted to and are these files temporary? I'm pretty darn sure that you're extracting them to C:\ and not cleaning up after yourselves. I say this because I just reformatted my computer and the of the three things that I have installed so far MNC is one of them. I'm pretty anal about leaving useless files on my computer, so this irked me somewhat. Any chance of someone having a look at extracting to the \temp folder instead?
They are (freely downloadable) Microsoft installers, and where they extract to / install to is outside of our control.
also, you can clean them up by googling where most steam things leave their initial run setup, and clearing everything out of there. let me google it for you... says registry cleaners can get ridda them, and thus you should be able to find it in the registry editor, under one of the steam or mnc folders.
Registry cleaners aren't really safe, they are really bad and instead of doing something useful they may instead harm.
i suggested using the registry editor, not registry cleaner. the registry cleaner may or may not pick up what you are looking for, and may do other stuff. going to "run", typing "regedit.exe", and spending some time looking for what you want and deleting it WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT DOES, is how i fixed a virus today on this very computer. also, whatever mnc installed might be useful later. some dll files are like that. i hand-download any dll files i can get, right when my computer asks for them, and leave them in there.
I was worried that this would be the case, but I can delete them myself and they'll only come back the next time I reinstall Windows.
