Patrick, you have a point but its not completely accurate to say we
have the .NET framework in the zip file twice.
What we do have is two separate installers because ToolbarToggle and
ToolbarToggleLite are completely separate programs which users may -
or may not choose to install on the same machine. Hence, each is a
stand-alone installer for a stand-alone application.
From what we have been told,
High speed downloads average 1-4 minutes.
56k dial-ups between 21 and 30 minutes.
We completely empathize with any complaints that dial up users have
and if we could significantly improve the download speed while trying
to provide bullet proof installers we would. That said, if for any
reason a ~25 minute download (or even if it were a 1 hour download)
somehow prevents a user from benefiting from what ToolbarToggle offers
- we totally respect their opinion and hope they will look past the
pain of the initial download.
ToolbarToggle can be so helpful for users by easing their migration to
Office / Word / Excel 2007 and returning the UI capabilities power
users want as well like creating their own toolbars / menus with drag-
and-drop AutoText and Macro buttons. It would be unfortunate if the
download size prevented people from missing these features and not
getting the full benefits that Office / Word / Excel 2007 has to
offer.
