Why do I get error of exceeding maximum Windows program size when I compile matlab code to exe file?

In MATLAB Compiler, when I compile MATLAB code into exe file, the exported file is xxx.zip rather than xxx.exe

And in the log, I find the following message in red:

Creating installer zip archive due to contents exceeding maximum Windows program size

What does it mean?

This is a new feature in R2019a on Windows OS. The message in red is not error, but warning. This is the expected results and xxx.zip works fine.
