Take a look at MsiGetFeatureCost -- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370115(VS.85).aspx
As long as you've opened the package and called MsiDoAction on the 3 actions you've mentioned, it works well. I think MsiEnumComponentCosts works too, but I find that getting the size of an entire feature is far simpler. -Ari -----Original Message----- From: Tomasz Grobelny [mailto:tomasz.grobe...@comarch.pl] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 09:28 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Costing and external UI I want to write external UI for my installer. The basics work just fine but I wonder how can I get information about disk space to be used. I googled that I have to call CostInitialize, FileCost and CostFinalize standard actions through MsiDoAction. Fine, but how do I read information calculated by these actions into my UI? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368048(VS.85).aspx says the information will be available through Component table, but I don't see how - it doesn't have the "size" column.
