You can try compressing and spanning the file.

try to zip it, if it didnt work, use that nice option in windows which is called backup to split the programs in 2 or more floppy disks
start>programs>accessories>system tools>backup

if you dont have it, insert the windows cd and install it from there
(note i think there are similar utilty programs available on the net, you should go and check 'em out)

(note 2: this process will take time! )
