Most downloaded software that uses Windows Installer (recommended by Microsoft) will end up with two, sometimes three, complete copies of itself on disk. The exact size depends on how Windows manages the Installer database, it can't really be said to be up to developers any more. Pity. > I have never before witnessed a software program that listed its compressed MB state and not stated its full decompressed MB. Your experience does not match mine. It is considered good practice to show the size in MB of a download so people can see how long it will take; showing the size needed to install might be useful too. Aandi Inston
