Question

One package in our installer bundle downloads data from our server and then uncompresses it. The size of this data is 15gb.

I want to put this value into the Add/Remove programs size column.

The InstallSize attribute would appear to do what I want however, when I set it "15050494389" I get the following error:

The MsiPackage/@InstallSize attribute's value, '15050494389', is not a legal integer value. Legal integer values are from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.

Ignoring why I would want a negative value, is there a way of setting the value correctly? Is there some setting I need to tell burn that I want values bigger then 32bit?

Was it helpful?

Solution

That's not supported today in WiX v3.8. You can file a feature request.

OTHER TIPS

I thought this property would be set automatically? Either way, it looks like you need kilobytes, not bytes for this field. Try 15728640.

Are you referring to ARPSIZE or something else btw?
