[WiX-users] How to use SelfRegCost?

2006-08-01 Thread Peter G. Sakhno
Hello.

I know that self registration is evil is strongly not recommended for 
use. But for my project it's acceptable, at least for the first steps 
toward MSI.

My question is what value should be provided for that attribute? In 
documentation said that it should be the cost of registering the module 
in bytes. How to calculate that cost?

Hi Stefan,

Thank you.
I already entered '1' for that attribute.

 Hi Peter,
 
 As I understand the description, this value is only used for correct
 displaying of progress bar. So I think when you will enter 0 for
 SelfRegCost then the progress bar will not move during execution of
 SelfRegistration (Standard Action).
 
 regards
 
 Stefan

MSI knows your file sizes but it can't see what your self-reg code is 
going to do. For typical registration, it doesn't much matter. But if 
you do something odd, like creating a cache of several megabytes, you 
need to tell MSI so it can determine if there's enough disk space.
