MSI with more than 2 GB

Hi,
i want to Create an MSI File (CAB Files Outside) with around 6GB.
Does someone knows how i can create it. Our Customer only allow MSI Files so i cant use Exe or something else.
By the way CAB Files allowed.

Thx

Re: MSI with more than 2 GB

Hi Matthias,

The Operating System does not support CAB files larger than 2 GB. In order to overcome this, you have the following options:

1. Use the "Multiple Volumes" option from the "Builds" page as suggested in the "The maximum size of a file in a CAB file" thread.
2. Create more features in the "Organizations" page and set the "One CAB archive per feature" option available in "Builds" page
3. Use the "LZMA compression" option as described in the "Create setup with files larger than 2 GB" thread.
