InstallAware for Windows Installer
 

Check Disk Space

This command returns the available or total disk space on the target system.

Variable

This variable receives available disk space, in bytes.

Disk Path

Provide the path for the disk to obtain space information from. You may specify an existing disk folder (such as the root folder), or a new folder that has not been created yet. You may also specify network paths using the UNC convention, of the form \\server\share. In this case, the amount of free space in the server share is reported.

Available Space

Check to obtain free disk space.

Total Space

Check to obtain total disk space.

 Notes

  • There is no need to explicity check for disk space in your setup script. The install engine automatically verifies available disk space before beginning installation.
