Hi Bob,

For folks still on dial up, please note that the trial copy of "ToolbarToggle" for Word & Excel 2007 is a 68MB download

Ooops, right. As soon as we live in the "jet propelled" lands, we do tend to forget that.

How long did (or would) it take you? On what connection speed?

68 MB? That's really large. Is the .NET framework and the VSTO runtime
engine packaged into that file?

Hi Patrick,

Good point.

First, there are two version of the program in that zip.
ToolbarToggle and ToolbarToggleLite which the user may install
seperately. Also, we support XP, XP SP2, Server 2005, VISTA, and we
can't count on machines having all the necessary Microsoft system
files.

So rather than possibly confusing people making them decide between
between two different versions of the application, for two different
applications, for X number of operating system components - we
compromised on size and made a one size fits all.

Our genuine apologies to those on dial-up. For users on slow
connection, perhaps if you do it at night - we promise the applicaiotn
is worth it!

I just got the zip file. You have a copy of the .net framework in the
zip twice. Quite frankly, that's a bit excessive. Why don't you have the
setup bootstrapper of each add-in get the .net framework as well as
Windows Installer on demand if necessary directly from MS? That would
save you a lot of space and get the files down to a reasonable size
while still working for all configurations.
Also, you only need extensibilityMSM.msi from KB908002.

Good heavens! I'd be disinclined on principle to download something
so large relative to the task it has to accomplish.

Does anyone know *why* it's so large?
