Beta 2 Released

The second beta release of FolderSizes (version 1.0) is now available.

IMPORTANT: please only use the following download link (those further on down the page no longer work):

foldersizes.exe (1.7 MB)

Note that the new installer file is much smaller than the previous ones, and it now works for all operating systems (regardless of whether MS Installer already exists on your system).

Again, please make sure you contact me if you find any defects, or if you have comments / suggestions.

FolderSizes Beta Released

Today I am releasing the first beta of FolderSizes 1.0 - a free software tool designed to help people see how their hard drive space is being consumed.

The beta code has been tested on Windows 98SE, ME, 2k, and XP. There are two separate installation files, depending upon whether you already have Microsoft Installer... ummm... installed. If you're running a newer OS like XP, then you don't need to worry about. If you're not sure, just download the larger package - MS Installer is updated during installation only if required.

FolderSizes.msi (2.5 MB) - use this one if you already have the latest MS Installer

FolderSizes.zip (5.7 MB) - if you don't already have MS Installer, or you're not sure

Please be sure to report any problems you experience. I'm also very interested in any comments you might have, even if they're critical. Let it fly!

Once the installation is complete and you start the program (from your start menu), select a folder or hard drive from the left-hand folder docking pane, which will initiate a scan (and report on the results).

I look forward to hearing comments!
