What is Binaries/SoapVDir all about?

[Guest ICU]

Apparently about 3 months ago somehow a folder called Binaries appeared was

installed or appeared on C:/, with two files inside, one is called

SoapVDir.exe, the other is a VB script file.

The question is, what is their function, what or who installed it and can

it be uninstalled without causing problems?

BTW when I say who I mean what piece of software?(G)

TIA

Well I guess I should mentioned in my first post that I did a google on

SoapvDir before I posted here and got nowhere...one or two hits on people

with basically the same question I asked and no real understandable

answers. Lots of hits on how to use it plus tons of techno gab and so

forth but nothing that gave me any indication what it was doing on my

harddrive or any suggestion as to how it got there, nothing aboutwether I

could just uninstall it or if it was installed by a MS update or if it

was now needed for the computer to function properly.

So after trying to follow up on three or four pages of useless google

hits on the subject I posted my question here

BTW using the google search url you provided the first three hits from

google now are my two posts and yours.(G)

 

Thanks for taking the time to try and help, much appreciated.

Right-click the VBS file, click Edit, press Ctrl-A to Select All, then

Ctrl-C to Copy it, then use Ctrl-V to paste it into a reply here. It's

what's in the VBS file that concerns me. And the fact that all of the hits

for MSDN, et al, speak of SoapVDir.CMD, not SoapVDir.EXE.

You are correct and this old dummy can't copy his notes correctly.(G)

It was SoapVDir.cmd not .exe.

It's gone now as I unnstalled both files and folder when I didn't get a

reponse here for a couple of days.

Thanks for the reply , much appreciated.
