Help on: Size of files in Add Remove.

[Guest]

H
I've just noticed that some Windows XP Pro Hot Fixes (in Add Remove) are very large in size

1) Hot Fix Q305601 is 12.75 M
2) Hot Fix Q307274 is also 12.75 M
3) Hot Fix Q329834 is also 12.75 M
All other Hot Fixes have no size mentioned there !!
I've also noticed that Java 2 Runtime Envirnment SE V 1.4.2-04 is (130.00 MB in Add Remove) !
But its actual size in Program Files is only 39.4 M

Any idea or advice on this please
Thanking You for your time

It is not clear what the purpose of the size information there is
supposed to be for such hot fixes - but it is not meaningful. It is a
pretty poor indication of the space that will be regained even for
applications
