The software installer includes 42 files and is usually about 1.74 MB (1,823,770 bytes). libupdate.dll is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released.

While about 40% of users of Hercules Webcam Deluxe come from France, it is also popular in Germany and the United States.
