Getting estimated size and writing it to the registry

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?

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.

Regards
