How much space is exactly needed?

[wysiwyg]

The size of my released CD is only about 150MB. However, the customer needs ~350MB to install. Is there a way to determine amount of size needed? Not just reserveCost size but TOTAL size.

Thank you.

do you mean at install time or at setup creation time?

I guess I mean whatever is greater. As in what would be needed for a successful install.

There is a MSI property called

OutOfDiskSpace

which will be set if there is not enough space available on all volumes

The Properties

PrimaryVolumeSpaceAvailable
PrimaryVolumeSpaceRemaining
PrimaryVolumeSpaceRequired

give you a hint about the amount of diskspace needed
the properties are valid after the CostFinalize Action

if you need a better calculation, there is the
ComponentCosts Property of the Session object
(see platform sdk)

Thanks _doog_ !

Did you see my other post on how to get the size of an included MSI that will be run using a CA (nested install)? Maybe you can help me with that too!
