MORE INFORMATION

File Costing

Costing is the process of determining the total disk space requirements for an installation. The elements calculated in the file costing process include the amount of disk space in which files are installed or removed, and the amount of disk space taken up by registry entries, shortcuts, and other miscellaneous files. Existing files scheduled to be overwritten are also calculated in the disk cost totals.

Total costs are accumulated on a per-component basis and consist of three separate parts: local costs, source costs, and removal costs. These parts correspond to the disk cost that is incurred if the component is installed locally, installed to run from the source media, or removed.
