Required disk space for installation.

[Wim S]

Hello,

I am writing a short manual for my application. I would like to mention the required free disk space for installing my application. Is there any way to detect how much MB's my application will take?

Thanks,

Wim

Hi Wim,

There isn't a direct way to know how much MB's your application will take.

So basically it all depends on what their application is doing.  Also, what drivers they are including if any (i.e. daqmx, fieldpoint, gpib, third party drivers, etc.).  A couple of ideas:

1- Look at the free disk space on a deployment machine before installing the app and then after and compare.

2- get all of the drivers and run time engines that will be included and start the installation for each separately.  At one point it tells you how much disk space is required.  Add all of those up and then add whatever other disk space the application has.
