Nullsoft PiMP Stub [Nullsoft PiMP SFX] *. I think it is packed with Nullsoft NSIS-Installer. It might be possible to unpack the file.
I have a rather large project whose Installer is written using NSIS.
My problem is, that I cannot simply add all files to the installer file, because it will exceed the 2GB limit.
I also cannot leave my large files in a flat structure on the dvd and just copy them using the CopyFiles command, because the total size of the directory structure will exceed 4.7GB.
So what I want to do now is to have my big files in a flat but compressed structure on the dvd and manually extract them to the install directory during installation. The structure on the dvd would look like this:
Are there any convenient ways of doing this?
Thanks a lot in advance for any ideas.

Nullsoft Installer Command Line Switches
- There are several NSIS plugins that can extract from external archives: ZipDLL, NsUnzip, ExtractDLLEx, ExtractDLL, CABSetup or UnTGZ
- You could execute a external tool like UnRAR.exe or 7z.exe
- You could create some mini NSIS installers that you execute (Run with /D to set $instdir for sub-installers, you probably want to use
/S /D=$instdir)
