disk spanning - possible?
Hi
Does NSIS have support for disk spanning similar to INNO's? I can't find anything in the manual.

It would be great to be able to type:
---
DiskSpanning Yes
DiskSliceSize 650000000
---
and automatically get 3 files (setup.exe, setup-1.bin and setup-2.bin) based on the files meant to be installed. I can't use copyfiles or zipdll or similar because I am installing about 1GB worth of stuff.

(This installer will be split accross 2 cds)

You should use a plug-in like ZipDLL, see the NSIS Archive.

But I want to use LZMA compression. I could not find a plugin for lzma. Is this possible?

--edit--
i'm not sure about this but after reading the zipdll license, i find that i can't use it because my prog will be a commercial prog, and not available under the gpl or any "compatible" license.
