Setup size concerning auto start from CD

[Tommyknocker]

Hello,

my Setup.exe has a size of ~360MB (Single-file image)
On the CD I use the auto start (AUTORUN.INF).

Problem:
Due to the big file size, it takes about 1,5 minutes until the setup starts from CD with autostart function.


Question:
Is there a way to "outsource" the files to be installed?
So that I get a small Setup.exe, which handles all the user input etc., and a data file, which will be used for the installing process.
The small Setup.exe then is started immediately with the autostart function.


I know I can change the media type to custom and make several small pieces (let´s say 100MB) and one setup.exe.
But here I have the problem, that during install progress the user is asked to insert the next disk. Is it possible that this message does not appear or how can I solve my problem?

Thank you very much.

The following is the way to go today:

Just use the 'Custom (for UAC-aware systems)' Media Type option and you are done.

Hope this helps.
