Source File to big // Source Datei zu Groß

[Justin_Christian]

Hallo,

Ich versuche derzeit ein skript zu kompilieren was eine Source Datei von ca. 2,2 GB hat. Das funktioniert leider nicht! Ich habe gelesen, dass die Standardberegenzung 2,14GB liegt.
Kann man die Begrenzung irgendwie erhöhen oder gibt es eine andere Möglichkeit?

 

Hello,

I am currently trying to compile a script with a source file of approx. 2.2 GB. This doesn't work. I have read that the standard limitation is 2.14GB.
Can you somehow increase the limit or is there another way?

I think  this is a windows limitation, but why would you ever want to do this at all?

; Copy setup files
ProgressSet(30, "Please wait." & @CRLF & "Copying setup files ...", $ProgressMainText)
_LDEcho("Install source.7z to " & $_WorkDir)
$checkFileInstall = FileInstall(".\source.7z", $_WorkDir, 1)
_LDEcho("Install 7za.exe to " & $_WorkDir)
$checkFileInstall = FileInstall(".\7za.exe", $_WorkDir, 1)

; Unpack source.zip
ProgressSet(35, "Please wait." & @CRLF & "Unpacking setup files ...", $ProgressMainText)
_UnpackZip("source.7z")

;Install New Software Version
ProgressSet(70, "Please wait." & @CRLF & "Install new software ...", $ProgressMainText)

Just distribute the Installer and the AUtoIt3Script as separate files and run the Installer with the AutoIt3 script.  

[Justin_Christian]

And how does it work?
Sorry, i don't know how it works

[Jos]

How would you distribute the AutoIt3.exe with the included installer? 
Use the same method but distribute 2 files: The AutoIt3 script and separate installer file.  Pretty strait forward.  

[Justin_Christian]

I don't know what you mean.

for normally we have all Installation Files in a ZIP-File and transmit this with the exe.

At the lokal directory i unpack the source.7z and then i'm able to install the MSI as it says the code above.

I didn't know how i can mount a network drive as a path.

_InstallMSIPackageWithOption("Dlubal RFEM 64-bit.msi", "/norestart /passive TRANSFORMS=1031.mst")

So what about this simple question for starters?  How would you distribute your compiled script containing the script and all installer files?

Hey Justin_Christian,

I have the same problem and don't know how to solve it.

Jos I'm very happy that you try to help justin_christian and now myself.

But I don't know what you mean. 

Can you make a better description about the solution?

You are a developer and should descripe it for everyone....

@Justin_Christian

Instead of FileInstall() use FileCopy(), rest of your script should stay the same.

 

You may post source of your function where you encounter problems ...

_InstallMSIPackageWithOption()

 

EDIT:

I also recommend to use ABSOLUTE paths in all commands.

Makes sense as he is probably sitting next to you.  

Anyways:  The question is: How do you guys distribute the software to the PC's where this installer needs to run on? Do you want to copy/run it from a server (Not recommended for such a large file) or do you use something like the Windows BITS service to get the software first to the Computers?

Thanks for this! I tried it first on the local system like this:
 

; Copy setup files
ProgressSet(30, "Please wait." & @CRLF & "Copying setup files ...", $ProgressMainText)
_LDEcho("Copy source.7z to " & $_WorkDir)
$checkFileCopy = FileCopy("C:\RFEM_Update_52203\source.7z", $_WorkDir, 1)
_LDEcho("Copy source.7z: " & $checkFileCopy)

_LDEcho("Copy 7za.exe to " & $_WorkDir)
$checkFileCopy = FileCopy("C:\RFEM_Update_52203\7za.exe", $_WorkDir, 1)
_LDEcho("Copy 7za.exe: " & $checkFileCopy)

It actually worked!

Thank you!

 

 

[Zedna]

Use:

$checkFileCopy = FileCopy(@ScriptDir & "\source.7z", $_WorkDir, 1)
