How do I install something greater than 2GB?

Hi,

When I try to compile.exe files, it tells me that the maximum CAB file size is 2GB and then quits. So, how can I make a.exe installer that is greater than 2GB? It also needs to be in one file.

Thanks!
Brennan

Hello Brennan and welcome to our forums,

You can implement the steps from the Authoring Installer for Large Resources Overcoming MSI Size Limits (from a developer perspective) article.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
