Hi all, My application preallocates a bunch of disk space to use as (among other things) a storage arena for cached files fetched over the network. The user can select the amount of disk space to reserve in megabytes at install time. Right now they just get an obscure error in their event log if they ask to reserve too much space.
I thought maybe I could implement a check for this using ReserveCost. But: 1. ReserveCost doesn't allow values above 2G. A user might easily want/need to reserve many times this amount. 2. Because these are integer and not string fields, it appears the amount of space has to be known at MSI build time -- it can't be determined as a function of a property? (I have a pair of properties CFS_STORAGE_SIZE_MB and CSC_PROXY_STORAGE_SIZE_MB that one of my UI pages allows you to set. These values are placed in the registry.) Is there any solution other than a custom action? So far I've managed to avoid going down the custom action route.
