Problem with Calculation

[dholst]

Having a problem converting the following number (bytes) into MB. The number is 8068508441. The results I get are as follows:
KB,s = -509295
MB,s = -497

If I use the number 475397672, I get
KB,s = 464255
MB,s = 453

The way I am converting is:

%bytes%=8068508441
%KB%=%bytes%/1024
%MB%=%KB%/1024

I will attach my script so you can look at it and tell me where I am going wrong. Seems the lower number is working. Thanks

Re: Problem with Calculation

The problem there is that you have exceeded the maximum value for a 32 bit integer (2 ^ 32). It simply won't fit. Internally, for disk space calculations and such, Setup Factory 6.0 uses unsigned 64 bit integers, but they are non-standard on Pentium/Windows systems.

Perhaps give us an example of what you are doing and why and we can suggest another way of doing it.
