Size of VC++ 2010 Express Download

Question

I am on a limited broadband connection & I want to download VC++ Express, but I first want to find out what's the total amount MB consumed in the download - this is not apparent because the downloaded installer is a web installer which downloads stuff on the fly? Does anyone know how much bandwidth is consumed if installed VC++ Express (Without SQL Server)?

Answer 1

Hi Voy User, the web installer does display the total download size of VC++ 2010 Express.

VC++ 2010 Express without SQL Server - 69 MB

VC++ 2010 Express with SQL Server - 69 MB + 82 MB

Hope this helps!
