Hi everybody,

I am going to deliver a setup file of a vc# 2010 project of mine to the customer very soon. When I am runing the setup on my own PC it requires about 0.5 MB in drive d and 1 MB in drive c. But when I run it in another PC it's not done. Because it requires about 1 GB in drive C and C is not that empty! Is it because of the .net framework 4 that is not installed in that other PC or what?

BTW the setup file is also build using vs 2010 setup project.

It will depend on the components required to be installed on the client's system, .Net framework 4 being one of them.

AFAIK, this space comes from the space required by the temporary files (deflated zips etc) needed to run the setup the program and the actual size of the program (including third parties) to be isntalled on the drive.
