So I have a feature and if this feature is selected I install MSDE (merge modules) and I restore a backed up database from the [SOURCEDIR]. Problem is that this database is 73M so I need to make sure the user has enough space. Can I pad the feature to make sure there is an addition 73M on the selected drive?

Thanks

Add an entry to the ReserveCost table, specifying how much extra space it needs.

Hi guys,
We are also facing a similar problem but we do not know how to add an entry into the Reserve Table since the Feature is just allows the user to select the Help files and we install the help files as a separate msi.
We have used FeatureSetData to populate the features list. but we are not able to show the exact size of help files.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Vishal

The ReserveCost table is a table in the .msi file.
