packer build fails due to BGinfo.exe being too big for a 1.44MB floppy #23
Comments

@dusek I switched to using a cdrom and EFI for windows 10. I haven't uploaded the code yet because there are some parts that arent fully automated. Another option is to dig an older version of that file that's smaller. |

@molant Thanks for the tips. In the end, I managed to work around this by removing BGinfo.exe from the floppy and commenting out copying and execution of BGinfo.exe in install.vbs. |

Technically there were 2.88MB floppies in the past and as a virtual floppy the size shouldn't matter unless it is hardcoded to a certain size somewhere. |

Bginfo.exe (downloaded today from the site linked in README using the Download BgInfo link) is 2.9MB, twice more than 1.44MB floppy max size:
I will try a workaround by commenting out anything relating to setting background and do a build then, but thought you must have run into the issue yourself and that I should report it.
