InstallAware

Hi,

I just upgraded to InstallAware 15, and I was astonished to notice that the installation ate up a lot of disk space.

Is any of that redundant, ie. could I delete some of these files ? Mostly this is eaten up by the runtimes that it downloads, but it seems to put them in several places.

This is what I noticed:

C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallAware 15\Runtimes 6.9 GB of runtimes
C:\Users\All Users\{some guid}\ 8.4 GB of runtimes
C:\ProgramData\{same guid as above}\ 8.4 GB of runtimes (seems identical to above)

So all in all 24 Gb of runtimes, in what appears to be same files in three times.

Considering that my development machine (which also hosts VS etc) only has 50 Gb I'd like to some housekeeping

Dear Petri,

I suppose you found those files, because you used the "Web Based" setup to install your InstallAware product.
This package requires to store locally the downloaded runtime files.

Personally, I use always the "Single File (with runtimes)" to install the package ... and I don't see any of those redundant files you have.
Then also, using the "Single File (with runtimes)" package you will be able to install your product, even when this will be not available anymore from our server.

Regards.
