Was having a read the other day, but I cant seem to find the right keywords or instructions. I want to create a manifest that allowed an installation of a software production, but the installer is split across multiple files (e.g. install.zip; install.zip.1; install.zip.2). How do I create a manifest to do an install with that? |

This currently isn’t possible. The closest you could get would be to add it as three separate packages and have Install-2 depend on Install-1 which itself depends on Install-0, but that would only work if each installer had a binary that can run independently (in sequence), since someone could soecify to only install Install-1 in that case. This means that the packages probably wouldn’t pass validation |

Well that sucks, and yeah the doing 3 installer packages wouldnt work as the 2 files are the splits of the original zip. So theres no "installer" or similar for it. Cheers for answering :) |

Yeah, basically. Except the first file is the exe for self-extraction

Some archives were split across dozens of .z0n files. But agreed, the
package manager doesn't support this archive file format.
