look in the folder and get the extensions for the most common ones in there...which ones are using the most space...
maybe someone else knows for sure how to handle this... you should wait and see if you get any other replies to this problem..
if you get no other help...
then I would backup all my data first...then uninstall office and outlook..then go to the installer folder and delete anything in there related to those 2 programs...then reinstall the programs...

The updates have always worked.
happyrck, did you tell ms to delete the install folder after office installed?
That is probably the folder.

also uncheck...hide extensions for known file types
and uncheck hide protected operating system files
then get a screenshot like mine of your C:/windows folder

There are no extensions on them. I checked the actual number and it is 44 folders and 1403 files. All the files are patches, mostly for office 2003. They all have names like 1a0a4dc or 1c56d81f. Stuff like that. They go all the way back to 7-8-04.

2: Look at this link and carefully read the content. Download Windows Installer Cleaner and run it. Please note that you will probably have to reinstall some applications.
