#431 Installer reports incorrect disk usage

[Kev Palfreyman]

I just installed Tomcat 5.5.14, which uses the
Nullsoft installer, and it reported incorrect disk
usage.

I'm not exactly sure which version of NullSoft it
uses, the installer exe file properties at some point
says version 2.0, so I guess that must be the
Nullsoft version.

I reported the bug to the Tomcat Bugzilla, but they
suggested it was reported here instead.

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?
id=37870

Text from that report:
"I just used the win32 installer for 5.5.14beta, and
noticed that the installer
reported the following disk usage stats:

Space required: 11.3MB
Space Available: 266.-9GB

Notice the ".-9"

There was actually just over 266GB free.
"

This was on Windows 2003 Server SP1.

That was actually fixed in version 2.10, but I forgot to add
it to the change log. Can you please verify this by running
the NSIS package installer for one of the latest versions?

I'm just a Tomcat user. Please can you respond to either
the tomcat dev list, or better still enter a comment on
their Bugzilla to encourage the tomcat devs to upgrade -
link provided in original report.

But it's your free space that raises the problem, so it
needs to be tested on your computer. Simply download and run
the NSIS package installer, it's very small.

Apologies Amir, I had misunderstood your original request.

I downloaded NSIS 2.11, and tested - it works correctly.

Thanks,
