hi suppose the size of the installer exceeds the 700 MB

Hi,
i have an installer and the size of the resource.zip is more than 1 GB and i found out from the manual that the CD-ROM INSTALLER can be used for installing over multiple CD'S or it can be used even with DVD.
Say if i can use a DVD then my problem is solved or if it can be stored over multiple CD'S and the self extractor engine of the installer
Has anyone tried it out.
Any suggestions are eagerly awaited

Hi James,

I am working on InstallAnywhere 2009. I have 5 merge modules of 1GB each. When i build the module, its creating 9 disks. But, only the first Disk1 is exeeding more than 700MB. Which is creating a problem for writing the data into the CD. Can you please tell me the solution if you have already solved it?

For more details, please check below.

The Disk1 size mentioned in the distribution list is: 681574400 (default size)
Total size of the installer(all 9 Disks) is 5.70GB.

CD's created

Disk1 = 727 MB size
Disk2 = 649 MB size
Disk3 = 649 MB size
Disk4 = 649 MB size
Disk5 = 649 MB size
Disk6 = 649 MB size
Disk7 = 649 MB size
Disk8 = 649 MB size
Disk9 = 567 MB size

Can i know, why Disk1 is creating more size of 727MB instead of 649MB?

I have also raised a ticked to the support team. But, I havn't get the reply yet. Since I have to close this issue asap, asking your help.
