Creating installs for FAT32

Hi.

I have a program that is roughly 3 GB with thousand of, mostly small, files. I need to make install files for it that adhere to the 2GB max file size of FAT32.

I am using InstallAware Developer. How do I go about doing this? I wish there was an option "span multiple files with size xxx" or somesuch like there is in winzip, but have been told that the solution is probably with MSI-scripting, which I have no experience with. Could someone please help me forward here? Or even better, are there any example installaware files that does this?

Thanks for any and all help!

BR,
Ivar

Try encapsulating groups of files in web media blocks. This will create for you a 7zip file out of each group you specify. All files you install inside a Web media block will be 7zipped.
