how to split an EXE file to CD's?

hi to all,
first of all Im a newcomer to NSIS. I made my .EXE file and now I wanna burn it to CD. but because of my .EXE file size, I should split it to CD sizes.
.EXE file size: 1.2GB.
the question is
"How Can I Do This?" or
"What Should I Do to use it on CDs?"
thnx..

P.S. Im using MUI.

IMHO big single exe file is not a good idea for installation. This is for internet downloads and not big files mainly. CD distribution allows you to use multi-files package and CopyFiles instead of File, this way user will not wait an hour or two while CRC check and decompression work.
