Hi,

I was just wondering, does setup.exe perform any cleaning up of old
downloaded packages from the local package cache, and if so how?

Also, can I assume that any package file that is on a server will never be
changed, or are sometimes packages updated without changing the name?
(even if it is only for a very short period of time)

Thank you,

Chris
