Most likely pretty big but you know that anyway. I saw a lot of apps that when installed in the circa Win 2000 time period had this kind of issue. Most seemed to get fixed by the time Win 2003 came out but then some apps/companies NEVER seem to learn and refused to fix their permissions to work correctly. Library software for me seemed to be the worst YMMV. They seemed to stop thinking anyone upgraded past Windows 98. I had one that never got past DOS 3.31.
