Hi, My question is different.
See in CustomSetup Dialog, you will find one message as "This feature requires 200MB on your hard drive" Now for silent install functionality i want this number(200MB) to compare the space. For example: My C drive has actual disk space 100MB and D drive has space 2GB According to my silent install functionality, reqdiskspace is 200 MB, but C drive has only 100 MB So with my functionality, the installer automatically select next avilable drive(here D drive). if(reqdiskspace>actualdiskspace) go for next drive Presently reqdiskspace I hardcoded as 200MB(what ever the number is there in message "This feature requires....") But in future of my feature size increases to 300 MB, then again I have to modify manually "int reqdiskspace=300" So to avoid this, I want the number in that message. So i will get this number through MSIGETPROPERTY in my C++ DLL and I can use. SaiTeja wrote: > > > > Wilson, Phil wrote: >> >> Generally speaking you don't need to do this.
