Creating Windows Installer Package (Setup Project) spanning multi...

Hi,

Got a small question on creating setup projects under VS.NET 2003.

My program uses large chunks of data (typical >8 Gb), which I need to distribute together with the original program.

Therefore, I want to know whether someone can perhaps tell me how to let my windows installer know that it needs to look for additional CDs/DVDs during the installation process.

Basically what should happen is, when myApp.msi is on CD1, it needs to ask the user for DVD1 and DVD2 (both containing the data) during the installation.

Can this kind of large setup program be created with VS.NET 2003, using ond of the setup and deplayoment projects?

Cheers!
Richie

AFAIK the Visual Studio setup projects won't let you do this. You should check out the WiX toolset as an alternative:
