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 0x80000000 (2147483648) in size. - Filemon showed writing to the msi file up to slightly under the same point at which point it didn't even try to write to the msi, whereas it kept reading cab files long after. - The error So, the long and short is that .msi files with the v2 wix tools seem limited to 2GB. Once I get a dev env setup at home, I'll start poking at it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
