Although I have not tested this, what about setting the ARPSIZE property
directly?

After reading the article I'd like to know...

 

Is there a way to set an estimated size for the whole program
and not have to set a size for each component?

as the size might be a guesstimate, (see
http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2004/07/09/178342.aspx) I'm
not too surprised, although it sounds somewhat strange

The program size displayed in Add/Remove programs increases by
adding the new size to the existing size instead of displaying the new
size of the upgrade.

 

Example:

 

Original size ARP displays 1 meg

Upgrade 1 (1 meg in size) ARP displays 2 megs

Upgrade 2 (1 meg in size) ARP displays 3 megs

Etc...

 

What is going on here?

ARPSIZE doesn't seem to do anything to the size shown in Add/Remove
programs.
