Looking for multi-volume unpacker
Hi all,

I need to generate multi-volume archives (.tar.gz, .7z, ... depends on the available NSIS tool) and unpack them into a NSIS installer.

Which plug-in to use ? I found UnTGZ but it does not support multi-volume feature.... ZIP format does not support it in its specification, so plug-in like nsisunz are useless... What about ExtractDLLEx ?

Many thanks,

Gal'

Yes I had. And I used it for a professional software installer for many years, then faced a bug (the compression step forget sometimes several files on huge archive (>2 Gb)) and could not fixed it !!!

So, we are looking for another plug-in.

Thank you,
