MPress Large Resources

[Masonjar13]

Seems that if you use MPress and the resulting exe is over 32-41MB (I'm not certain what the actual limitation is, but it's somewhere in that range), attempting to run the compiled script will crash the process. The simple solution is to not use MPress, but that's not what I want to do. Can this be worked around? Preferably keeping the other file as resources of the exe, as it's meant to act as a standalone installer.

Compile_AHK_II is an excellent compiler which uses UPX for compression instead of Mpress. It has many other useful options as well. Thoroughly recommended.

Not interested in the script itself, seeing as I have my scripts self-compile via command line (function I wrote), and hand-edit all my .bin's. My preference.
Note: Compile_AHK II isn't an actual compiler, it just wraps Ahk2Exe.

I tried UPX, and it errors out during the compression attempt. Looks like I could get away with not compressing the resource via the --keep-resource= switch, but I can't figure out the parameters (what the type/name would be.. specifically the type).

I've tried compressing with exe, 7z, and 001-007 files (breaking up the 7z), none of which worked.
