Files over 2GB
Hi,

I'm trying to create an installer containing a file that is 2.2GB, but it compresses to under 500MB with LZMA. When I try to package it with NSIS I get the following error:

File: failed creating mmap of "files\img.vmdk"

Can NSIS cope with such large files? Are there some clever parameters I can set?

Thanks.

Try not to enable solid compression.

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work.

I found a good workourund though, just using ZipDLL. That means I cannot use LZMA, but that's OK for the moment.
