Need some guides on burning 1.6gig Installer

[kleinski23]

I am confuse of what this software does, The name is IMGBurn. Does this means it only burns Images? Not installers? If no then I need some guides on how to burn my 1.6gig game installer. Some says to split it in archives, I already did it. I want to burn it just like some game installers that when you successfully installs the disc 1 it asks for disk 2 to be placed. Do you know how to do this kind of burning? And is this the right software for that job? Thanks!

The 'ask for a 2nd disc' part should be done with the installer application you're going to use. Once you've got which files must go on disc 1 and which must go on disc 2, you can use ImgBurn's Build mode to burn those files to each disc. Have a look in the Guides section

wow man! your avatar is hoot! pheeeew!! hahaha! Man, can you tell me if i am doing right? I already split the installer into 3 parts.. does this mean I have to put the part 1 in disk 1, part 2 in disk 2, and part 3 in disk 3?? You said, that its the installer part for the 'ask about 2nd disc part'. Do you also know how?

Depends on which program you used to split the files.

 

Once I've used WinRAR's 'Create SFX Archive' option coupled with the 'Split to volumes' option to split a 7.96GB file onto 12 CDs and it worked pretty well: you run the .exe from the first CD and, when it asks for the next part, you insert the next disc. After the last disc your file is ready to use

I also use winrar. I dont know about the 'Create SFX Archive' part. Instead I open my winrar Start>run>winrar.exe then Right click my installer then click "Add files to archive" Then I split it up. What I am going to do next?

[mmalves]

Open WinRAR, then go to Tools/Wizard, it should be pretty self-explanatory from there

Does this imgburn do the job? I mean the burning part?
