Install size in Modern GUI Directory Chooser Dialog

All,

I am having a devil of a time with this one - I have tried using AddSize and SectionSetSize with no avail - I Must be missing something rather obvious:

I have a simple install of a .NET App - therefore I have added the code found in the forums for this. Because of this I have 2 sections that show up if i use the macro to show the components - that is ok (I am not showing the component list, just did that for debugging).

Here is the problem - the total size of what I am installing INCLUDING the .net is around 40mb - but it shows 186mb. What I want to do is force the filesize setting to be a value I want to use rather than a calculated one - how do i do that?

What would I put in the following section to force a specific filesize, lets say 20MB?

Section "MainSection" SEC01
...
SectionEnd

Thanks for your help.

If it says it needs 186 it needs 186. Use solid compression if you don't want to uncompress the files during install.
