So far every Installation packaging software I use has a size limit of 2GB, I tried install creator Pro, InstallForge, and a few others and none have worked, I want my players to have an installation package instead of unzipping the client, it's a hastle and some people are honestly too naive to know how to right click and unzip to desktop. So some help would be appreciated!

Well, why not use WinRAR's SFX feature to generate a self extracting executable? Open your archive with WinRAR > Tools > Convert archive to SFX. Then you can change the behavior in "Advanced SFX options..." such as the displayed text, the icon used, the recommended path (outside 'Program files'), etc. It doesn't have a file size limit as far as I know (I just made a 3 GB archive without issues, it does take a while though...). Anyway, there are plenty of guides online on how to use this if you're interested.

Example (I messed up my left side image a bit, but meh) :
