Change folder of Epson TWAIN driver

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.scanners,microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I downloaded the current TWAIN driver for my Epson perfection 1250 scanner
from the Epson website. http://tinyurl.com/6xxug

When I installed the file it created a folder called EPSON in the root of my
C: drive.

Then I ran the setup from that folder and it then created another subfolder
with DLLs in and all that sort of stuff.

Can I move or delete this folder?

The EPSON Driver unzips to the C:\EPSON folder when it installs. It is
safe to delete this folder after installation. It is not safe to
delete any other folder created during the installation, these
locations include:
%System_root%\Windows\Twain_32
%System_root%\Program Files\Escndv
