Toolchain content grew too big for single file MSI installer #31

Open MaEtUgR opened 2 years ago

MaEtUgR commented 2 years ago

The biggest maintenance problem I currently have with the Cygwin toolchain is that the Cygwin base system grew significantly in size and is now bigger than what fits in a single file MSI installer. So whenever I try to update the toolchain and build new versions I cannot create an installer for it anymore. This would need some kind of file splitting in the installer generation which I'm not yet familiar with.

Does anyone have experience with multiple file MSI installers e.g. with CAB archives? The installer is created using the WiX Toolset and I'm sure it's just a few configuration changes away to achieve this but I currently don't know how it can be done.

Probably best to ask this on Slack or in some more specific installer page. I think the pool of people who will see this is too small.
