Different custom setup segment sizes?

[Tabe]

We have to include additional files (about 68MB) that aren't part of our SF7 install segments on the first CD of every setup that we build... Because of this we have to use a Custom segment size of about 570MB, in order for the SF7 exe and the additional files to fit on the first CD. But because of that any additional CDs aren't as full as they could be because the additional segments are also set to the smaller size, even though they don't need to be.

My question is: Is there any way to specify different sizes for different segments? For example, set the first setup segment to 570MB and then any additional segment to 700MB...?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That's not going to be possible.
I just tried with various tricks of editing the resulting data files but couldn't get a good reliable install.

What about puttnig your 68 meg file on the final cd?

An interesting idea would be to create an install for the first CD then create separate Installs for the additional CDs. Use the install on the first CD as a wrapper to control the installs on the other CDs.

An extension of this is to use zip files....
