Thanks for that info, but at least in my case that shouldn't be an issue
since I won't be signing the MSI.

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.

_Validation.idt file? From there we should begin the diagnosis.

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).
