SDK Installer showing wrong expected diskspace for public JRE

XMLWordPrintable

    • x86
    • windows_2000

      In installer it shows around 120 MB require space while in actual
      public JRE take only around ~70 MB.
      I suspect it is showing the same as JDK space requirments(as it also
      have 120 MB require space) while JDK
      consist of SDK+Private JRE+Source code+Demo


      Steps to reproduce:
      1) Launch JDK installer
      2) Select "Accept" in license agreement and click on "Next"
      3) Now click on feature "Public JRE" and see in description
         it says, it will require 120 MB of disk space.
         (Consider attach image: public_jre_space.png )
      4) Now click "Next" and wait for JRE installer to get launched.
      5) Once the JRE installer is there, have a look at space requirments
         it is far low than what SDK installer quoted, this can lead user
         not installing the public JRE just because of this wrong figures
         shown.
         In JRE installer following are the space requirments shown
         J2SE Runtime Environment: 65 Meg
         Support for additional langs: 18 Meg
         Additional font and Media support: 6 Meg
         So maximum of 89 MB.
