hash for big files??

[xnu!l]

error.
Exception - Reason: Failed to generate hash for file [C:\test\SLES-10-SP2-DVD-i386-GM-DVD1.iso].

I can't hash big files??? The one in example is 2.6GB.
How can I solve this limit? I don't want to user just unpacked the content of archive behind the installer and serial verification process.

Hi,

The hashing process uses the MsiGetFileHash function. Most likely this function is limited to 2GB (Windows Installer doesn't support files larger than 2GB). I'm afraid that there are no workarounds (except disabling hashing).

I think the possibility to set the password to LZMA arhive (and the password will be securely hashed in installer and then will be automatically used to extract files) will make the deal. Can't you realize this stuff ?

Hi,

We will consider adding this improvement in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for your suggestion.
