Any plans to increase the 2GB setup limit?
With OS, memory, and hard drives getting larger I was wondering if you have plans to increase the 2GB setup limit?

We provide installs (web downloads) for large companies and there are times that I have to zip up the install instead of providing a nullsoft setup.exe

Today, I had to build a single install that was 2.2GB. Of course, nullsoft failed and I had to use CopyFiles and zip up the install using WinZip instead.


Can you provide a zip file that contains one or more zip files and a setup that uses that to place the files?

Can you provide two files? The setup and the zip file that you will unzip?

I'm not sure if this will work for you but I have to use two files in a similar manner not due to size but other issues I have here.


For us, the definition of a "web download" setup is a single file download so I am not able to provide a zip and a separate setup.


Plans - yes. Time - no.
