...a way to force InstallShield not to determine space requirements?
I have an .exe file created with InstallShield that I desperately need to install a program from. The install constantly errors out with a message that I don't have enough free space to install the application, even though the previous screen shows that I have 13-15GB more free space than I need. Is there a way to edit the .exe or force it to continue with the install despite its miscalculation of free space?

As a last resort, perhaps you could remove the FileCost action from the execute sequence (this should be the source of your error/abort). I've never tried this, so I'm guessing there may be other negative side effects to doing this. Definitely backup your project first, and perhaps read up on "File Costing" in the help file before tampering with this.
