Why is the EXE download 175 MB and the MSI 191 MB
for the SAME Update Service Release?

I would think they both would be the "same size". Is there
something extra in the MSI (after all - it's 16MB larger than
the EXE).

Not sure which one to install over-top of V9.01. Don't
want to end up with problems.

Thanks,
Rickster

I doubt there are any differences in relation to what you get for Opus, but the MSI file is a more advanced method and necessary in some situations such as on a network or a silent install. Because of this, the MSI will contain more information related to the install. Additionally, each may pack the resources with a different compression level or type which would result in different sizes.

Thanks a lot Mack for your fast response.

My mind is more at ease now. I believe I'll install the
EXE file.
