How does it work when uninstall product from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel
It seems it doesn't the same as command "msiexec /x " completely.
It only go through the execute sequence?
My issue as below:
Install product, and find size is 52M in Add or Remove Programs.
Remove product from Add or Remove Programs, and reinstall product and find size is 48M(smaller than before) in Add or Remove Programs.
But if remove product from setup.exe or command "msiexec /x", and reinstall product and find size is 52M in Add or Remove Programs.
So I'm puzzle what the difference of the two uninstall ways?(from Add or Remove Programs and command "msiexec /x")
Highly appreciate if anyone can help.

Can't give you the exact answer but what I do know is that the sizes represented in the ARP-panel are only an estimate. You cannot base on that for determining the size of your installation...:o
