Question about the new updater

[quickstix]

Just a quick question about files downloaded through the new updater. Today I decided to to a complete removal of my originally 1.013 installed copy of AI War and install a fresh new copy using the brand new 3.0 installer. When I got up to installing the expansion content, I was thinking it would just download it all again, as I was sure I'd removed every AI War associated file on my hard drive in order to do a full clean install (with the exception backing up my current save). When I started the update, the updater didn't download anything and went straight to the installation, presumably as the files were still on my hard drive from when I updated my old copy to the new version the day before the full removal and reinstall.

My question is thus, where are the updater files located and can I delete them without making the updater go crazy like in pre 2.0? I ask mostly out of curiosity of how the new updater works, and also as hard drive space is a bit precious at the moment.

Thanks.

The updater uses your Temp folder, the location of which depends on your OS.  With the new updater, you can safely clear out your temp folder without it impacting future updates in any way.  Also, our 3.0 installer now automatically cleans up the MSI file from its location, so that you don't have to worry about that, either -- the MSI is no longer needed for updates.

Hope that helps!
