There isn't much you can do. The Windows shell estimates the size for you. Those other programs are lucky. You used to be able to set ARPSIZE but that is ignored from Windows XP SP2 onwards. Theres an old thread with a link to some (old) detailed information here http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/ARP-report ed-size-revisited-td691327.html

[mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 29 November 2010 22:58 To: [email protected] Subject: [WiX-users] Question with Program size in "Programs and Features"dialog box Hi, I've done a lot of web search regarding the issue where the program size being displayed in "Programs and Features" dialog box doesn't match up with what is actually being installed (especially when your install takes more than 4 Gig and dialog box will only show the remainder of the 4 Gig). But I haven't been able to find any real solution to this. On the other hand, I have seen some software out there that correctly show the install size (7 Gig or 11 Gig). Does anyone know how other installer fix this issue?
