Issues with Disk Space Required to Create VMware ACE Package (1788)
Details
When I am creating a package with VMware ACE, the New Package
Wizard tells me I need an amount of disk space that is twice the size
of the package itself. However, the wizard lets me continue
regardless of whether or not I have that much disk space available.
VMware ACE sometimes is able to create the package. Is there
something wrong with a package created when there is too little extra
disk space available?
Solution
To ensure that there is enough disk space to create a package,
VMware ACE recommends that you have an amount of disk space
available that is twice the size of the package.
You can try to create the package anyway if you have less disk
space available (though of course you need enough disk space to fit
the package itself). Depending upon the contents of the package and
whether you encrypt the package, the package may or may not be
created. If you cannot create a package after seeing the disk space
message, try freeing up some disk space then create the package
again.
If VMware ACE is able to create the package with less than the
recommended disk space, there is nothing wrong with it.
