If this isn't a 2 GB limitation, then it's a serious coincidence. :)
Light successfully builds the cab files. In this case, the two big ones are
just under 2 GB each (so the final msi should be almost 4 GB). Then it starts
building the msi file. The msi file grows until it reaches 2,147,418,1
That doesn't sound right to me. Also, the error you're getting is about
_Validation table failing to IDT file is corrupt or something more sinister.
Tim, can you try running light with the "-notidy" switch and capture the
_Validation.idt file? From there we should begin the diagnosis.

One very important clarification I want to make, the WiX Standard
Bootstrapper Application is *native* code. It will run on WinXP+ with no
dependencies.
The wixstdba is also somewhat customizable but definitely does not support
as much as the UI element does for MSI packages.
Most of the scenarios
I think I feel the same way about internal UI as you do.
For the most part, it was 'good enough'. And I liked that it was declarative.
There were some annoying things such as the way control validation behaved and
not having any concept of 'custom controls', how overlapping behaved and some
The underlying storage for the .msi database cannot handle sizes over
2GB, so your assessment seems correct. Unfortunately the only
workaround I'm aware of is to move the large data outside the .msi,
necessitating external files (either .cab or raw source files).

1. /? is there. The WiX Standard Bootstrapper Application just doesn't
support it yet. You can see bits and pieces where it will go.

I have a very simple WiX project which has worked without problems for many
installers. But I am now running into an error with the latest attempted
installer. The only difference I can see is that this is the first time the
MSI has tried to grow above 2 GB. The error from Light is this:

I find myself in a similar situation as Vitalii. Our situation is thus:

I've never done it myself, but most people seem to use SpawnDialog (with
a dialog they create themselves that looks like a message box.)
(Some people have in the past recommended using a CA to show a message
box, but this is bad practice as CAs should never show a UI)

This type of thing has been asked about before and as far as I
understand it is not possible - due to limitations in Windows Installer
itself, not WIX.
Instead, consider always having Next enabled, and then when the user
clicks Next, display an error message if either textbox is empty.

Hey all,
I think I am stuck on a feature / bug of WIX.
In a Dialog while installing I ask the user for username/password.
The Next button is disabled until these two properties are set.
But the thing is that these Properties are only Set after the user
"leave" the EditBox. So the only way to En

As this is a pre-requisite I'm glad you're plan is to block the install

That is definitely the right thing to do.
Fortunately the Java installer is MSI based (or at least the one
installed on my PC is), so detecting it from your

Is there a way to check if Java is installed while installation?
Also what kind of versions and if not is it possible to ask the user to
download & install?
Thanks,

In our product we are moving from InstallShield to WiX. In the current
installer 3082 LCID is used (among others).
Is it save to use WiX Spanish localization for it? Or some additionally check
for this is required?
Thanks,
Maksim.

You have access to the source code. Quick look shows:

Hi:
Does the DUtil supplied PathExtension function omit the period "." From an

For example a file "test.txt"
Would I be returned ".txt" or "txt"?
Any help appreciated.
