Re: Custom required space on disk

I'm sorry but even I change the property PrimaryVolumeSpaceRequired the size of required space is the same in the dialog screen.

I need to set the value of required space to 900 MB and I really don't know how. Can you please help me?

Regards, Bronislav.
Daniel

Re: Custom required space on disk

Hello Bronislav,

I think I misunderstood your question and I apologize for that. In order to achieve what you want you can use our "Reserve additional disk space for component" feature. So, you can proceed like this:
- Add the related prerequisite as a feature-based prerequisite to your project.
- Go to "Organization" page, select the prerequisite component under the prerequisite feature.
- In the "Component Properties" right pane enable the "Reserve additional disk space for this component" option from "Additional Space" section.
- Build and run your project.

Let us know if this helped.

All the best,
Daniel
