How to passing by restriction of 2.100.000.000 bytes?

[Pol Sokol]

Good afternoon, dear members of the forum. Who knows: how to get around the limit in Inno Setup on the size of the created file in 2,100,000,000 bytes? That is, the task is to repack the game with an additional patch. The game weighs 12.7 GB when installed. When compiling, Inno Setup creates as many as 6 files (not counting the main exe-file): 5 files of 1.95 GB each and one (apparently residual) for 1.55 GB. The original installer of the game has 5 additional bin files of 3.33 GB, 2.19 GB, 142 MB, 26.7 MB and 5.93 MB. How is it that the original file size is greater than 1.95 GB, but not when compiled in Inno Setup? Maybe there are some hidden settings in Inno Setup that are responsible for removing this restriction? Or should you use some other compiler to create large bin files? If anyone knows this - tell me, please. After all, such an opportunity is definitely there, since there are games in which bin-arnics weigh 20-40 GB each!

Inno Setup doesn't currently support more than the 2.1... bytes per file created, you can't get a 12GB install into a single file. There is no easy workaround afaik

The original either uses a different install system, or they use a modified version of Inno Setup.

Is any plans to support large (more than 2gb) single exe file ?  in the age of high-speed Internet, it is convenient to place one large download file on the website, instead create installer with multiple files, and create one sfx file for that multi-file installer.
