Windows Update and for all I know other MS Update services appears to download to a temporary folder in the root of the drive with the most free space at the time of the download. Is there any way of steering the Update service to restrict itself to local drives or even better to specify an exact path for the temporary download folder. I have been searching the internet for an answer to this but so far drawn a blank.
I'm hoping this might be the forum with an answer. Thanks - Bill. Wednesday, March 17, PM. Windows Update and for all I know other MS Update services appears todownload to a temporary folder in the root of the drive with the most free space at the time of the download. This is not an accurate statement. If you're downloading from the Microsoft Download Center, IE may be writing the temporary file into the cache before copying to the final destination.
Windows Installer does create a temporary folder on the logical volume with the most free space, during the actual installation process, but that folder is be deleted after use. Correct, for use of Windows Installer this may not be desirable behavior. However, your issue here is with the Windows Installer application, and using the appropriate options where available to control the location of the installation directory on such systems when performing such installations is the solution.
As Robear notes, it's really beyond the scope of this forum. But then, as noted, this is not the Update Service causing this scenario, but rather the Windows Installer. Possibly because you're lookin' up the wrong tree for the answer.

Well, as you are a Microsoft MVP, consider this an official complaint to Micorsoft since I see updates provided via windows update exhibit this behavior. Friday, February 21, AM. So another genius behaviour built in to the Windows Update tool - no idea of a fix yet. Monday, April 14, PM. It's not. Wednesday, April 16, AM. Curiously these all chose to put their temp files on the largest drive Let's separate what your gripe actually is here. Friday, April 18, PM.
