I have found all these files under the C:\ drive which appear to be from my IM5.8.4 installation on Windows X.

Also files under C:\ system

Is this normal when installed on Windows X?

No. This looks like the initial migration of IMatch accidentally copied all files into the root folder in C: instead of the program data folder ???

Do you use the default locations for %APPDATA%?
Can you please attach the IMATCH_*.txt files from the TEMP folder on your system (ZIP them before uploading). I will need to see what the migration has done and why it decided to copy files into the root folder. Very strange...

Hi Mario
Yes I used default locations.

I've looked for the txt file but its not in the temp folder or anywhere else. This maybe because since IM5.8.4 was installed I have run a disc cleanup utility a couple of times.

I did Macrium Reflect before I installed IM5 and as I wont be using that version on Windows X I think I will restore Windows X and reinstall IM2017.

This should hopefully give me a correct and clean install.

Will let you know on Friday when I'm back at my PC.

Thanks Paul
