What happened?

Comes from https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-installers/pull/168#issuecomment-1433568454. Thanks @larsoner and @hoechenberger for the research.

nsis has a 2GB limit file size. This can be hit if your project adds big things like pytorch, cudatoolkit and others.

There are nsis-derivatives like nsisbi which can increase this limit to 4GB with some trickery, and beyond that with an external file. I don't know how to feel about using nsisbi by default, but we might be able to enable this with a flag, or a new installer_type or something (large-exe?).
