The ComponentCosts property of the Session object returns a RecordList object enumerating the disk space per drive required to install a component. This information is used by the user interface to display the disk space required for all drives. The returned disk space costs are in multiples of 512 bytes.

The ComponentCosts property should only be used after the installer has completed file costing and after the CostFinalize action.
