NSIS installers cannot be larger than 2GB.
You can store the files in a seperate 7z archive and extract the files at run time with the 7-Zip stand alone command line utility.

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

That might not be a good idea since it would be hard to show the progress of the installation without showing an ugly console window. I would recommend separating the various media files into categories (if possible) and making invididual installers for each category, then executing those at runtime using the /D= switch to set the installation directory.

Or, you could use the CABSetup plug-in.
