How to show disk free space for selected folder?

In my installer a user should choose a folder that will be used by the installed application. Is it possible to display what space is available on the disk corresponding to the folder chosen by a user?

Re: How to show disk free space for selected folder?

Hello,

The related Windows Installer control is "Volume Cost List" control:
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... section109

Windows Installer has some properties you can display, but as described in the Setting Primary Volume Space properties thread they are correctly resolved only when using Enhanced UI:
PrimaryVolumeSpaceRequired
PrimaryVolumeSpaceAvailable
PrimaryVolumeSpaceRemaining

Also, the Azure(FolderDlg), Modern(SetupTypeDlg) and Spring(FolderDlg) themes have this functionality implemented by default.

All the best,
Mihai
