temporary files during installation process

hello folks,
will there be any temporary files created by the installer during the whole installation process (e.g. for decompressing tasks) and if so, where will they be located?
at the moment i'm installing about 500MB and would like to know if the user has to provide extra diskspace in addition to that while running the installation.
Thanks alot!

This is $PLUGINSDIR http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html#4.2.3 .
This dir usually holds up to some KBs regarding to the plugins and images/sounds etc compiled with the script.

thanks for your quick answer!
but will there be temporary files whose content and especially size depends on the amount of data i'm including in the installer using the 'file' command?
