Sorry guys, I gave up... (>2gb installers)
Ok, I just spent all day trying to make one installer.
It's a big one, 4,3gb installer. Yes, that BIG!
No luck at all. Same error about page file, error #12345.
Read the forum, everything.
Tried: SetCompress, SetCompressor, SetCompressorDictSize
SetDatablockOptimize, FileBufSize
All possible values... always the same error.
Tried using 'nsExec' and extracting with unrar, rar files with 300mb, 100mb, 50mb sizes. Same error. No luck....
(yes, using NTFS, XP)
So I GAVE UP!
Googled, found and tried Inno, yep, you all know the program. I didn't, I started with NSIS.
Man, I was amazed, what a difference, the program have the same error with > 2GB installers, buttttttttt... it has one FIX for it. You can create 'slices'.
My installer became one EXE, and 3 files with 1,83gb.
WORKED FINE!
And another thing:
NSIS script (last try):
- size: 14,6kb
- lines: 279
INNO:
- size: 1,92kb
- lines: 54
Amazing huh ? Why that why ?
Ok, why i'm posting that ?
I know that a lot of people have this same error with bigger installers and want a fix for it... I read topics from the version 2.1, we are at 2.32 now... man.. no fix yet.
Yes, I tried another program and it WORKED.
btw, I don't know what's better, why this and why that. But worked for me. Using LZMA, solid, ultra... no error.
I hope that someday NSIS can do something like that.
