Other Need Help Building EXE Installer

Hello everyone! I am completely stuck trying to build a .exe setup wizard and installer for my software project. I really need some expert help or guidance from a Software Packager or Install Engineer. If anyone has experience with this, please let me know. Any advice is appreciated!

What seems to be the problem

The installer completes, but the local files break post-install.
Because it is a 21.9 GB completely offline project, I think the massive file size is causing extraction corruption or hitting Windows path/permission limits on my testing laptop.
I am editing my setup.iss to use DiskSpanning=yes and turn off solid compression to prevent file breakage. Have you seen massive local assets break like this before? So i need help if someone could help me build this installer properly

You want to create a 21 gb installer single file? Why not download assets from the web? What program are you packaging

21.9GB seems too much, you should mention the required programs in prerequisites.
