It's caused by VCRedist from VC++ 2008 erroneously installs temporary files in system root directory instead of the temp directory.

These files are unnecessary and can be safely deleted from the system. The functioning of the runtime library will not be affected by this.
Its a known bug and is planned to be fixed in VS2008 SP1.
