Specified components in multiple .bin files

[NewsArchive]

We have a very large setup (around 600MB) which we currently have
SetupBuilder automatically split into a tiny .EXE and a single large .BIN
file (a fabulous feature).

It would be very advantageous for us to split it instead into a series of
discreet .BIN files, with specific components in specific .BIN files, or
alternatively a series of .EXEs/.BINs launched and managed from the main
setupbuilder script.

Are either of these scenarios catered for, and, if so, how do I implement
them?

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Warren,

From the technical point of view, it's not possible to have specified
components in specific .BIN files.

The compiler generates native Windows .EXE applications. The "UAC-aware
Custom" option lets you "split" this up into a single .EXE and one or
multiple .BIN file(s). It's not possible to specify which files are stored
in which .BIN.

Thanks Friedrich.

So what about multiple EXEs (+.BINs) where a single setup script manages the
running of the other EXEs?

I fear I have no idea what you mean <g>.

You can already launch other .EXE files from your main setup.exe. But one
..sb7 project can only generate one specific .exe. Of course, you can use
the "Releases" or "SKU Management" features to generate different .exe from
the same .sb7 project, but I am not sure this is what you are looking for.
