My system is set to receive AU & it has downloaded the latest version of WGA. I don't want to install this & I keep getting the yellow icon in the system tray nagging me to install.

I want to delete the download & then turn off AU but I can't find out where the AU downloads are stored (waiting installation).

Does anyone know which folder they are stored in ?
Cheers
