Reinstalling VideoStudio x9 in future

[Jim Pickles]

I'd be glad if you could tell me what happens if I want to reinstal X9 in future (maybe in a few years time - e.g. if I change computers).

I bought a copy of VS X9 to be downloaded. I was sent a link which was valid for a month, which downloaded a program of approx 10 MB size. This then ran and installed 2.8 GB of files in the x64 program folder, and 37.5 MB (all of which look installation-related) in the x86 folder.

I dont want to run the installation program again to see how it does this, but I presume the original 10 MB program downloads the much larger final program and files.

My question is, if I want to reinstal the program at a later date, will the files downloaded by the original VideoStudioX9.exe program (which I have saved) still be available?

Or have I misunderstood the process, and the 2.8 GB of files are all somehow compressed into the original 10 MB download (difficult to imagine)?

For previous versions, I have had all the files I need on a DVD and just reinstalled from there.

I tried finding this information on the discussion board, but could not.

Many thanks if you can say what happens,
Jim.

Hi,
Interesting thought that a 10MB can be 2.8GB, but it's not.
This file is the installer, and it downloads ~3GB of stuff for each 32/64.
I believe you can run it just to download those files and not TO INSTALL and than these files can be backuped.

Ah yes! Thank you. Doing it again, with the Download only option.

Many thanks for your help,
Jim.
