Disk Spanning Options Panel
InstallShield 2020 ยป Release Wizard
Project:This panel is not available for InstallScript projects.
If your setup is larger than one disk, you have the option to split the setup into pieces so it can be distributed on multiple disks.
Panel Options
Automatic
Select this option to have the wizard automatically split your setup across as many disks as are necessary. This option is the recommended way to span your setup across disks.
Custom
Select this option to manually define how many disks your setup requires, and set the breakpoints yourself. This option requires you to specify which features will be stored on each disk in the Disk Spanning Advanced Settings panel.
Caution:Multi-disk setups cannot be run from a non-removable media (for example, from a hard drive). If you want to run test a setup that spans disks, you need to put the setup on your target media. If you do not, the setup will fail due to a limitation of the Windows Installer service.
Enforce disk size
Select this option if you want the wizard to verify that none of your disk images exceeds the media size that you selected. If any of the disks exceeds the specified size limit, Build Error -1531 appears when you try to build the project.
