A business I work with uses FileMaker for their point of sale (POS) system and lately has had all their PC’s hard drives fill with CAB files in the Windows Temp directory along with log files in the Windows Logs CBS folder.

I attempted to run the update repeatedly but it just kept failing, so I manually downloaded the new JetPack and used FTP to upload it....
