The correct approach for handling large, non-code assets (like databases, media files, or large configuration sets) in a Tauri application is to use Resources combined with the Asset Protocol.

This method is critical because it keeps your application binary (.exe, .app, etc.) small and manageable, bundling the large files separately but automatically alongside the binary in the final installer (.msi, .dmg, etc.).

For a full, step-by-step implementation guide covering the setup and the usage of the files, you can refer to this guide, where I summarized all the necessarry configurations:

This ensures your users get a single, professional installer package with all the necessary large files correctly located and accessible at runtime.
