Hi, I need to prepare msi installer, so that it could be installed via Active Directory on multiple computers in silent mode. Total size of files, i must redistribute is about 100Gb, so it would be significant optimization, not to pack into cab (or at least pack without compression) ant not to embed them into msi. Also i read that max size of msi is 2Gb, so i can not embed all files into single msi.
I do now know AD well, please advice me: - can this msi (silently installed via AD) contain links to external files, not embedded into cab and msi itself? in other words can I deliver files in same folder with msi without merging them into cab or msi? - can this msi contain links to files in cab, not embedded into msi itself? can i somehow tell in wix project, that compression level for cab files must be "store" (without any compression) in other words can i deliver files in cab without compression and not embedded into msi? And else one question, about features upgrades: - can i prepare upgrades for separate features, not for entire product? So these these upgrades could be installed in any order. For example i have features A,B,C. 1. User installs only features A and B. 2. After these I emit upgrade A1 of feature A. and upgrade B1 of feature B. and upgrade C1 of feature C. 3. User installs A1 and B1. 4. After these I emit upgrade A2 of feature A. and upgrade B2 of feature B. and upgrade C2 of feature C. 5. User installs A2 and B2. 6. Now user installs feature C from his msi. 7 Can he install C1 and C2 now? - is it possible, if use one product msi? or i need to make each feature as separate msi file? -- Thank you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
