It's somewhere over 200 MB. Might be as high as 235 MB. The installer they use (Installashield - or however it is spelled) does not apparently have the capability to consider how much stuff they will be overwriting on any earlier version that exists. You can see why, as this general purpose installer could be used on new installations, upgrades and just for activating a feature not previously installed on any program that uses it. I asked Janenne if they could put a note outside the installer on this and other hints so that folks like us could see those hints. She passed it on to Gary [As an aside, notice how many vendors put their ReadMe files inside the installer - so you can only read them AFTER you have installed the program. That is especially nice when the readme notes tell you something like - this program will not run on your system. Or as one did, replaced my video drivers (permanently turning my system into a VGA 640x480 until I redid it) 'cause they didn't like the one I was using )really meant the didn't know how to run with an ATI driver.).] So what you have to do is delete some old stuff that you know will be overwritten. I usually do the data (which means history might have to be redone, but I think you have to anyway......).
