I've noticed them appear in multiple places during the self-update process.

Note: The initial client installation is from the IT Admin MSI installer.

 

Paths I've seen it use:

%TEMP%

(C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\SAU{F8~1.zmdownload)

 

 C:\Program Files\Zoom\temp\temp.msi

 

%APPDATA%\Zoom\MSI\5.7.7.1105

(C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Zoom\MSI\5.7.7.1105\ZoomInstallerFull.msi)

Thank you! So do you mean that the temp files appear in all different locations? 

It appears that it downloads it to one location (%temp%) then moves it around prior to starting the upgrade.

Oh ok we deploy the system version install app, would that still be the case?
