How to produce a release for distribution on several floppy ?
I tried "Disk Spanning", but clicking on Next button caused the "Invalid key" error.

Any idea should welcome.
Thanks

I am not sure what tool you are using to make your installation database.  Perhaps you will want to try constructing a single MSI file and then using the Microsoft Cabinet SDK (available as a download from MSDN) to construct the cabinets for the deployment media.  I have not tried this, but I did read over the MakeCab documentation this morning, and it looks as though you should be able to span diskettes.  It may be necessary to assemble the MSI database in a temporary location on the target machine and execute the installation from that location.

I may be doing much the same thing this weekend with a small project.  If you would like to know how it turns out, please send me an email.
