Overview

The software installer includes 76 files and is usually about 26 MB (27,259,923 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows 10. While about 68% of users of IBM Standard Software Installer come from the United States, it is also popular in Japan and Germany.
