Strange temp folders stops the patch - Urgent

Hi

During a patch update from Microsoft it creates strange temp folders on a
local drive. This could be called C:\sdfj234lkjglk34lkj4sdf\
and the extracted patch are in the folder. Normally Windows should delete
this after the patch has been installed and rebooted. But some times Windows
do not clean up for some reason and the folder are still there after the
patch are installed and even after a reboot.

This causes that next time I try to patch the Windows the patch stops - just
hanging. If I delete these folders and reboot and try again it works. But I
have to do this manually. I have seen this problems on many Windows.

Do Microsoft have a better Hotfix.exe or a tool to remove the temp folder
before I start the patch installation. Or what could be the solution ?

Regards,
Henrik
