[WiX-users] Stuck using 3.5 till harvesting returns to WIX

Yeah, definitely not an install issue anymore, but I appreciate the suggestions! You're right that whatever takes up the extra space doesn't necessary have to actually be a container. My ultimate goal is to simply guarantee that my program has X space allocated to it for use, so your solution wo

This really isn't an install issue at this point, but... Do you actually need to store things in this file, or are you just wanting to make sure you have X MB available for your program? If the latter, you could create and package a file that contains the same byte value over and over. That shoul

Interesting; I hadn't heard of NTFS sparse files, but unfortunately, I can't assume NTFS on my target installation machines. I'm currently wondering if there's some kind of file container I can use that will take up X disk space all the time, but that my program can open and add & remove files

Ah, so ReserveCost is to reserve space perhaps for CustomActions or other things Windows Installer might not be able to predict. Yeah, I was afraid of that. The only idea I had to "reserve" disk space was to use a TrueCrypt volume of 100MB (or whatever size) and then programmatically open i

It's mostly internal to the install - by the time costing is complete for the target volume there should be at least that 100MB remaining. Because it's part of the cost you should get a "low disk error" if there's not enough space on that volume during the install. Programs and Features includes t

Hi all, This may relate to Windows Installer in general (and not WiX specifically), but when I use ReserveCost to reserve say 100MB for Directory A, I would expect the amount of free space on the disk to be reduced by at least 100MB after installation, to signify that the overall disk space has
