Error file 4 giga

i have a file of 4 gigabyte, but when compile the script i have an error like this:
Internal compiler error #12345: error mmapping file (2142769859, 2592295) is out of range.

Note: you may have one or two (large) stale temporary file(s)
left in your temporary directory (Generally this only happens on Windows 9x).

what's the solution?
pc with: 6 giga ram, 500 giga hard, win7

NSIS is a 32 bits application, and therefore cannot handle more than 4GB of data. Either use CopyFiles to copy the file directly from $EXEDIR, or use one of the zip/cab/etc plugins.

How what? How to use the plugins? I would expect one could find some amount of information regarding that subject in the respective plugin readmes.
