How do I install something greater than 2GB?

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.

Hello and welcome to our forums,

Please take a look at the The CAB file size is limited to 2GB forum thread and Authoring Installer for Large Resources Overcoming MSI Size Limits (from a developer perspective) article.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
