I need to make sure I have enough disk space before running the build. Can this be automated by VBP 5.0?

The attached sample demonstrates checking the available free space on drive C and aborting if below some threshold amount.

This depends on the following object method:

freeSpace = vbld_FS0.GetDrive("C").FreeSpace

This seems to work fine.

Where is this vbld_FS0 object documented?

What other methods does it have?

How can I do the same for a file share (\\host\sharename) ?

Thanks.
