Suspiciously Conformant Install Sizes
I needed some hard drive space on my Windows XP machine, so I went to
Add/Remove Programs. Office XP Professional shows up as 273 MB Office 2003 Professional shows up at 273 MB I find it suspicious that they're the same size. Will trying to remove XP remove 2003? I also see three entries at 988 MB ..NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix ..NET Framework 1.1 Visual Studio .NET 2003 I'm not going to remove any of those, but are they all talking about the same 988 MB, or are the three of them together taking up almost 3 GB? |

The details shown in Add / Remove should not be relied on
Why would you want both Office XP and Office 2003? "Ion Freeman" wrote in message ... I needed some hard drive space on my Windows XP machine, so I went to Add/Remove Programs.

I don't, but the degenerate information in Add/Remove programs make me leery
of removing the older one. "DL" wrote: The details shown in Add / Remove should not be relied on Why would you want both Office XP and Office 2003? "Ion Freeman" wrote in message ...

The correct way to find the size of any folder is to browse to that particular folder and then right-click on the folder icon and select properties. This should give you the correct size of the that particular folder. on the General tab. Microsoft Office 2003 is about 288 MB while Office 2007 is: 544 MB hth Ion Freeman wrote: I needed some hard drive space on my Windows XP machine, so I went to Add/Remove Programs.
