    Inno Setup & disk spanning

    I have used disk spanning and 5 files were created. They are to be copied onto 4 floppies. The problem arises when I install the app. When the first disk is done, the 4th disk is requested. After I put in the 4th disk the installation is complete.

    What happens to disk 2 and 3?? Aren't those files needed? The app seems to run ok without them, but it seems odd. Has anyone else had this happen?

    Cat,

    Who uses floppies to install apps anymore? And yes it is strange. What are the file names?

    Re: Inno Setup & disk spanning

    A friend is going to test my application and he doesn't have a zip drive and I don't have a cd burner, hence the floppies.

    The first two files go on disk one and then each of the others go on a disk:

    ChartSetup.exe
    ChartSetup-1.bin
    ChartSetup-2.bin
    ChartSetup-3.bin
    ChartSetup-4.bin

    Each of the first three disks are filled to capacity and the remander goes on the last disk. This is how Inno Setup documentation prescribes it.

    Cat,

    The only time I have seen this happen is when you would install your program and you have a selection in the installation process to install features and the two disk that do not get used contain the features that were not installed.

    Check your installation to see if this is the case. Post you iss script so that I may take a quick look at it to see if I see anything.

    I'm not using a custom install. The script started out with your Inno Script program and then I added some things from the Inno Setup Wizard and then also some comments that I found somewhere (?) on the net.

    Here's the script, thanks alot for taking your time to look at it. It's greatly appreciated.

    P&D Wizard does the same thing.
