    4GB archive limit

    Hi all,


    I'd like to make a setup for a game suite, with options for 16 games up to 6GB, and have this setup spread over 2 DVDR's. With output's in 650MB so that you can also burn this setup on a couple of CDR's.

    But it seems that Setup Factory 6 limit's the total output size of the setup to 3,99GB max.

    When building the output, SF6 comes with the error

    'Seek failed on an unnamed file'

    and stops the building process.

    The IRDATA.ARC in the Temp directory (on FAT32, but also on NTFS) is 3,99GB.

    Is there a possibility to tweak some setting so that this Setup can be properly build?

    I know that with some creativity, the setup can be split into 2 setup's. But that's not what I prefer, because it's very nice to have these options (16 total) in one list, with their packet sizes next to it, so that you can see in one instance if you have enough HDD free space to install the options you want.
    Thnx in advance.


    Regards,

    Setups created with Setup Factory 6.0 are limited to 4GB in compressed size (the size of a 32-bit unsigned integer). You'll need to create multiple setup.exe files if you want to exceed that limit.
