The WiX tools generate an 0001 error when any unexpected exception occurs. They log the original error message as supplied in the original exception. In this case an AccessViolationException occurred, which is generated by the .NET Common Language Runtime whenever some external code (P/Invoke or COM Interop) generates a Win32 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005) structured exception.
Other discussions on this list indicate that CABs have an upper limit of 2GB. Split your install into multiple smaller CABs. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of raj ganesh Sent: 31 January 2007 04:44 To: wix-devs@lists.sourceforge.net; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Light System.AccessViolationException error(Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Cab.Interop.CabInterop.CreateCabFi nish) 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.

Moving to the most recent 2.0.4820.0 version returns the same exception stack. Thanks, Raj ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
