EDITED:

I figured it out, making data.bin files must be Ascending order

data1.bin (small files) to....... data4.bin (biggest file

UPDATE:

AFTER 2nd try, it skips the Data1.bin again

Data1 - include *exe *.dll
Data2 - include *.bundle
Data3 - Exclude *.exe *.dll *.bundle

3 data bin has same compression, but it skips data1 again, I tried the reverse it skips again
Your test files were very small (approximately 2 MB), so DSG obtains the size of Setup.dll, and only setupDLL must have exceeded the size defined for DISK1.

If possible, please send me the test files and the DSG_Settings.ini file from the Resources folder of your test, and also a screenshot of the sizes reported as DiskSize where your test failed.
