Harold, each time you install something (using this windows
package 
manager) or windows update installs something, this file
does all the 
work. It's the package manager or installer made by MS.

The files are supposed to be temporary, but with most
temporary files in 
the windows environment they tend to hang around a little
longer. Just 
in case.
