[Fixed] online installer leaves downloaded file in Temporary Internet Files

Is it just me or does the online installer leave the downloaded file behind inside my "temporary internet files"-folder (=internet explorer cache)?
I believe its a plugin thing as the online updater built into the latest beta (5) of the Menu does the same.

I understand this isnt "personal information" left behind, but it would be cool if this could be fixed anyhow.

It's in the known issues list

I know

but its a bug of the PortableApps.com Installer too and not only the updater in the new beta!

yup

it is, but 2.0.3 which is just about done will fix it. I'll be repacking all our online installers as well.

Confirmed

I can confirm this on the Skype downloader even though the command to Delete it is executed at the end of the loop. Somehow the file is being locked.
