Recently we had a situation where installing the data packages was expected to take over 20 hours! We do not have the ability to run a machine undisturbed for this length of time at the office, and VPN automatically times out after 12 hours. Okay, so these items are company-specific, but how nice would it be to be able to download/install the data in smaller portions so you don't have to worry about setting up shop for 8-10 hours?!
I was able to copy the DataInstall.ini and name only the portions of the data I wanted to install in each session. But then I had to separate the installs into different network folders otherwise you end up overwriting the DataInstall.exe file, which users need for each install in order to register from a network location (for each install).
Needless to say, it took SEVERAL weekends and quite a few mistakes before I was able to do it this way successfully!
Please vote for data installs in smaller portions!
