InstallAware

I've attached a screenshot from my add/remove programs list (win7). As you can see, it shows two installations for mostly the same product. One of them was built using the setup wizard-cum-thing in VS 2008. As you can see, it shows the size of the application. The other I threw together quickly with IA10. As you can see it does not list any size. Does anyone know how to do that in IA? I can't find anything obvious in the IDE that lets me enable/disable it so I suspect it might be "off" by default and therefore cannot be controlled? It's not essential I can do that but I'd like to know out of interest.

Curious. Many of my listed items do show the size. I wonder if it might be something in the registry that does it? I'll take a look at some other products and if I find anything, I'll report back.

EDIT: It is indeed in the registry. If you create EstimatedSize (DWORD) and enter a value it gets displayed in the size column.

Interesting... Thanks Peter!

Aviv,

Another thing I noticed is that if you look at the registry entries for other products there are all sorts of different registry options. Quite a few are common between them and others appear in only a few places or indeed, in only one place.

Do you know if there is a universal list of registry keys that installations can use? It seems there are more out there than you think

Dear Peter,

There you go!
