MSI installer showing '0' size in FolderDlg...

... for all three entries ('Total space required...', 'Space available...', and 'Remaining free space...'). If I generate an EXE installer then it shows correct non-zero values.

Since I really need the MSI version, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Using: AI ver. 9.0.1 Professional on Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Thanks,
Per

Hi Per,

If you are using an MSI package with Azure or Air themes in order to display information about volume space here is what you should do:
- go to "Custom Actions" page and create a "Property set with formatted" custom action with sequence under "Wizard Dialogs Stage" -> "Begin" standard action
- set "Property Name" field to:

Code: Select all

PRIMARYFOLDER
- set "Formatted Text" field to:

Code: Select all

APPDIR
- rebuild your project

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Starting with version 9.1 of Advanced Installer the related custom actions has renamed to "Set installer property".

All the best,
