Don't include CAB files in MSI

I'm including about 3Gb worth of content files in my install and the package is blowing up when it tries to create the MSI. It creates three or four CAB files during the compilation but craps out when trying to add them to the MSI.

Issue looks like it's the same as this one: http://community.installshield.com/showthread.php?t=186851

I'm not picky on where the CAB files are; they can stay outside of the MSI as the post suggests. But I don't know how to configure my project to say "Go ahead and compress the files into CAB files but don't include them in the MSI"

Thanks
Kyle

CD-ROM type (instead of Network) compressed with automatic spanning with setup launcher will give you separate CAB file(s) (i.e. not embedded in MSI)
