CCS/TMS320DM642: CCS Installation Size in Programs and features

Part Number: TMS320DM642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

 Why are Code Composer installations reporting such a small size in Programs and Features (Control Panel) ?

The installation directories are way bigger.

What should the sizes visible mean then?

    Hello,
    The calculation of the install size of a program in Windows has always been a bit of an imperfect science with a lot of room for error:

    Well, at least the second link seems to show that there are countermeasures to replace the windows guessing
    with an own better guessing (EstimatedSize registry property).

    A good guess would be sum of all files sizes.
    A better one the sum of all sizes on disk.
    ...

    The sizes reported by windows are quite modest.
    Make Code Composer great again :)
    (sorry couldnt resist)

    Just discovered that there is an EstimatedSize size property e.g. in
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Code Composer Studio 6.2.0 6.2.0.00048
    but its wrong, whoever is reponsible for this ccs-setup or windows "intelligence".

    Anyhow it is possible to manipulate it with regedit and see the effects in Programs and features.

    So it might be possible for ccs-setup to supply a correct resp. better value during installation and update processes.

    It looks like the size should be specified in KB.

    It is a little bit more complicated than it seems because of the way the current installer works. There are dozens of smaller installers that are called by the main installer and which of them run depends on the installation options chosen. Also some of these installers add their own entry to the list (TI Emulators, etc). In any case, we will need to provide a better estimate, or not provide one at all to avoid confusion. I filed a bug for this, tracking ID: CCDSK-2565

    Thanks
