We are seeing an access violation in light.exe (filever 2.0.4103.0) when creating the cab file for the debug target (happens when the cab file size exceeds 2 GB) -
light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. Exception Type: System.AccessViolationException Stack Trace: at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Cab.Interop.CabInterop.CreateCabFinish (IntPtr contextHandle) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Cab.WixCreateCab.Close() at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.CreateCabinet(String cabinetDir , String cabinetName, CompressionLevel level, ArrayList files, ImportStreamColle ction importStreams, ArrayList fileTransfers) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.ProcessMediaInformation(String databasePath, Output output, ArrayList fileTransfers) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.Bind(Output output) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Light.Run(String[] args) Unhandled Exception: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory.

Cabbing file su_dummy_4.txt from 'su_dummy.txt'. Cabbing file su_dummy_5.txt from 'su_dummy.txt'. Is it possible to pull the exception handler off of light.exe to return a meaningful error code. Moving to the most recent 2.0.4820.0 version returns the same exception stack. Thanks, Raj ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
