Working on a Windows XP Home Edition SP3, Dell Dimension 2400 tower. It has run out of hard drive space. When checking it out I noticed that the C:\Windows\Installer folder was 65.8 GB. Yes, gigabytes!

This PC is used for a business and it's not practical to reinstall Windows. The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility seems to be no more. Anybody know of any solution for this problem - perhaps a utility that let's me determine what I can safely delete from the folder?

Never mind.... I found a utility on a Japanese site that reads through your Installer files and checks them against the registry, giving you a display of the unused files. They can then be deleted.
