Why the G:/ drive?

Free space was larger on Drive "G:" vs Drive "C:" ?

<excerpt>
The Local Install Source feature has built-in logic to detect low disk space. When none of your disk drives have more than 1.5 gigabyte (GB) of free disk space, the Local Install Source feature is automatically disabled.

When one or more of your disk drives has more than 1.5 GB of free space, the disk drive with the most available space is used for the Local Install Source feature. When one or more of your disk drives has more than 1.5 GB of free space, and when one of the drives that has more than 1.5 GB of free space uses the NTFS file system, the largest NTFS drive on your computer is used for the Local Install Source feature, even if it is not the largest drive on your computer.

Dear Effdee,

Thanks for posting here.

From the problem description of the post you submitted, my understanding
is: you have some questions on MSOCache folder.

MSOCache folder is Microsoft Office Installer file cache and I fully agree
with what our MVP Ramesh mentioned.

I wonder if you have additional questions and concerns on this issue.

Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Helen Li
