Hello,
If compression is enabled - and the package is still to large - you need to remove excess files from the package

How big is the package before and after compression?
Also have you followed this recipe? - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/prescriptiveguidance/thread/5eade6a1-44b1-41f9-8af2-0534ef5c8c71The reason I ask is I'm thinking of sequencing this myself at some point.

But if the package's physical size (i.e. after compression) is above 4GB it will not work correctly, no matter what you do! There's overflow in the interal data structures.
