Error Code 0?

I got error code 0 when building a single msi file.
My msi file always only reach 2,097,088kb, then I got that error. I have no error when building smaller installation.

The storage format for .msi files doesn't support more than 2GB, so you cannot exceed something approximately this size. Unfortunately the Windows Installer APIs do not return usable error information for this case, so while we can guess about the error, it's not trivial for InstallShield to confirm this is the reason.

Is there any other ways to to handle 2gb and more?

You can either build fully uncompressed, or with, say, a custom layout with something like a cab file per feature (assuming not all your files are in the same feature). Neither of these options will give you a single MSI file that provides everything; they will both result in additional external files.
