I had an accomplishment yesterday on some IT geekage but don't have
anybody local to share it with, so I'll blab to you guys ;-).

I am installing Savant's whitelisting application, and when installing it
scans every file when building whatever catalog it initially creates. It
successfully installed on several machines, but on four systems it would
get almost all the way installed, then abort and roll back.

After sending Savant a debug log file for one system, it turns out that
occasionally a file name (apparently it's usually an IE temp file), trips
up the installer. Savant told me to rename the file....that idea doesn't
seem to scale well, as who knows how many other files might trip this
thing up, right? Running CCleaner and killing IE temp files in the typical
manner didn't work as what I needed was to be able to kill the temp IE
files for all users.

Then I found this site - http://www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au/ and specifically
this tool: ICSWEEP. It kills IE temp files for all non-logged in users.
Running this tool prior to the Savant install resolved my issue on all
four problematic machines. W00t!

I have let Savant know about this tool, as I'm sure I am not the only one
to ever run into this issue. It's something handy for troubleshooting
other IE issues as well. Kudos to Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy!
