  • 1.  ai-builder 2GB limit fix

    Posted May 24, 2007 11:03 AM
    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

    So how did we do with this?   Last comment was 1 year and 42 weeks ago.  we're coming up against this issue as more and more apps are bloating over 2GB.

    Any movement on this issue?  It's becoming more and more of an annoyance to have to split large installs like Adobe Design Premium into smaller packages.

    They way I go around it was to take a good portion of the files and just zip them up.
    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:
    1. 2 GB limit
    2. may allow you to make changes to the AIC file without the master machine. This would allow me to make changes to the AIC or to just add files later.
