Description

The file multivolume.zip contains two NSIS examples for multi volume distribution (i.e. more than one CD for a product). CABSetup.zip is a plug-in that allows multi-volume distribution via CAB files.

The first example splits a large product distribution of a theoretical 2.1GB into 1 root installer and 3 more installers of 700 MB each (to fit on 700 MB compact disks.)

The second example is one installer which copies files from multiple disks onto the users' hard drive.
