ai-builder 2GB limit fix
Updated: 22 May 2010 | 4 comments
I just recently tried v11 in hopes that the ai-builder would finally support packages greater than 2GB but was disappointed to find this is not the case. 90% of my deployable apps are now greater than 2GB and with v8 i was in the habit of making seperate packages for each app to stay under this limit. Now several apps have individual files greater than 2GB and I'm stuck. I was curious if there was an unoffical build or something i can do to get around this? Othewise i'll have to look into applications that break up binary files similar to that of newsgroups

Then use a RunOnExit command to unzip them into the proper location.
This is similar to how MSI are done: you have a setup.exe, msi file and a bunch of cab files.
But I agree they need a better way.
If you kept the files separate from the registry and the other commands then you can solve two problems:
