Yep, I've just done a title for a games company where this is an
issue. The only content installed by the package itself is the game's
.app - the game's data is extracted into the app during postflight using
7-Zip as this was the only way to get it to fit onto CD. We have already
had people asking if the installer is hanging as it can take up to 10
minutes for the content to decompress.
Our solution to this problem in future, unfortunately, has been to
write a custom installer tool.
