SUMMARY
=======

In the Add/Remove Programs utility in Control Panel, the size displayed in the
Components list may differ from the size specified for the Space Required value.
(To view the Components list, click the Windows Setup tab.) The size in the
Components list is the total size of the actual files. The size specified for
the Space Required value is calculated using the cluster size of the hard disk
drive, which varies depending on the size of the hard disk and how it is
formatted.

Additional query words: space free install size
