Where does the installer extract its files to
When you run the installer for thunderbird it extracts a number of files and puts them somewhere, where does it put them?
The machines I want to install thunderbird to can only run things from certain directories (which excludes the users home directory), as a sys admin I want to be able to install thunderbird, but I cant as it appears to extract files to some directory where we cant run applications from.
Ideally I would like to be able to move the files to somewhere where they can be run (as changing the security policy will take weeks if I am lucky).

I have never looked, but I would assume the temp folder. That is where almost all software places their installation temp files.
Hi,
Where would I find the location of the temp folder?
I have no idea, but on the start menu type %tmp% in the search or run box and press enter. Windows explorer will open in that folder.
