Pre-requisites as components?
Posted: Thu Dec 09, 2004 9:55 am
Another question
Is it possible to have pre-requisites (like MDAC 2.8 refresh) as components? Or is there some way of showing how much space will be used by the whole install and not just the target files...?
I see there is code in the script when doing the pre-requisites for insufficient diskspace but it'd be nice if the installer could show before it starts how much space will be taken by everything and/or give the user a chance to skip the installation of the pre-requisites...
(also applies to any merge modules installed - one installer I've setup for testing says it needs 9MB but it actually needs ~55MB with the merge modules)
If it's not easy to that's fine - it's just to offer the best service with the installer that I can
