I faced issues while creating an installer with a size of 2GB+. Unfortunately I had to upload the installer to a shared site that didn't accept files > 400MB. The want for a separate installer and process thereof delayed my delivery.

I remember from other software(s) having distro creation capabilities in size of lets say a standard CD size of 650MB, etc.

Wouldn't it help many if the app builder allowed splitting the installer in a defined packet size?

In the installer build spec dialog, look in the Advanced tab. Enable Media Spanning is right at the top.

mmoni, Does crossrulz's suggestion solve your use case? If so, I'll close the idea. It sounds like media spanning is exactly what you need, but let me know if there was something else you were envisioning with this idea.

Thanks corssrulz for highlighting that!

Yes, Darren you may please close the idea. Thanks for the support!

App Builder should support file splitting
