Right now the only allowed paper sizes in tikzposter are a0paper, a1paper, or a2paper. Is there a way to manually set the size of the poster in inches or other units?

After issuing
\geometry{paperwidth=42in, paperheight=60in}
you have to recalculate \TP@visibletextwidth and \TP@visibletextheight. So, after that line, add
\makeatletter
\setlength{\TP@visibletextwidth}{\textwidth-2\TP@innermargin}
\setlength{\TP@visibletextheight}{\textheight-2\TP@innermargin}
\makeatother
MWE:
\RequirePackage[demo]{graphicx} % remove this line in your document

And this is the result:
and the paper size is the correct one:
You have to adjust the textwidth and textheight suitable for the paper dimensions. To do that add the following lines to your preamble.
\makeatletter
\setlength{\TP@visibletextwidth}{73cm}
\setlength{ \TP@visibletextheight}{120cm}
\makeatother
Code:
\documentclass{tikzposter}
%\geometry{paperwidth=841mm,paperheight=1189mm} %% aopaper sizes
\geometry{paperwidth=74cm,paperheight=121cm}
\makeatletter
\setlength{\TP@visibletextwidth}{73cm}
\setlength{ \TP@visibletextheight}{120cm}
\makeatother

The
tikzposterclass loadsgeometry, so you can use its syntax to specify different paper sizes:10.2cm is 4in and 7.6cm is 3in
