..... And determining the "size" of an MSI can be a royal pain. If you mean "when it's about to be installed" then it will be accurate only after the costing is complete because features have been picked and Windows has worked out which files are actually going to be installed. If you just want a generic approximate size to show, then write a dumb build tool that adds up all the sizes in the file table and stores the result in the Property table were it can be queried.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] determining the install size of an existing msi MsiPackage element is used by Bundles. That data is provided in the BootstrapperApplicationData.xml file provided to BootstrapperApplications running in Burn. Not clear if you are writing a custom BA or if you have a custom bootstrapper engine. For the latter, you'll have to write all the infrastructure yourself.
