Well, I'm pretty sure now that light.exe has a 2GB limitation on
its own for the MSI file itself (regardless of using cabs < 2GB in
size).
I verified by a couple facts:
- Inspection of the temp folder showed multiple cabs, each < 2GB.
- After resulting error, .msi file is slightly under 0x8

Well, the hope was to get a single file install .msi, but I can see if

I've been googling for the spec somewhere (as well as about the tools)
What's the file size limitations of wix? I seem to be able to create the
.msm with 4 files
totalling 3.4GB though it seems unnaturally compressed down to 805MB.
However, in trying to create a final .msi using this .msm, yield
