Updating Disk Space for 3rd party installers

Post by tofutim »

Hi, I have a scenario where for Custom installation the user can select a Feature which later runs an installer. How can I add to the Disk Space when this Feature is selected? Currently it adds up as 0, although it takes like 100 MB. Is there a way to hard code the disk space cost of a feature?

Dear User,

have you used "Get Component State" command in your script?
Disk Space Calculations

If your products installation is reporting estimated disk space requirements as 0 or inaccurately, you are not making proper use of the Get Component State command in your script. InstallAware requires this command be used at least once in your installation to be able to accurately predict target disk space requirements. Please see the command reference for more information.
