Getting estimated size and writing it to the registry

Postby pfennig » Thu May 19, 2016 8:58 am

InstallAware setups don't write the value EstimatedSize into the registry. So, we would like to do this ourselfs.

On the destination form there is a value for "Space Required" and a StaticText control that receives information from "Total required space".
Is there a way to get the value into a variable to use it for later purposes?
Best regards

Dear Pfennig,

You may use the "Get Component Space" command to get the space requirements of a component previously defined by the Define Component command.

Hope this helps you.
