I need the installer like 10gb.
NSIS has limit but NSISBI can break the limit.
can we use that or there is another way to have big installers.

Nowadays x64 systems has no limit something like 2gb.

I solved it this way.
After all the normal installation processes, the nsisbi package is downloaded. from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsisbi/

and copied to the C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\electron-builder\Cache nsis folder in this directory.

Thanks to this special version, installation can be done without being stuck with the 2GB limit.

This idea was originally written here: electron-userland/electron-builder#1850

Thanks,

Works for me. Just download nsis binary, and replace it in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\electron-builder\Cache\nsis-folder
