It depends on the declared schema. See src\wix\Data\tables.xml in the WiX _source_ for the schema that WiX uses.
In version 3.0.2211.0, the ModuleSignature/ModuleID field has a maximum length of 72 characters. Your own identifier should probably be less than 40 characters so that there's plenty of room for the modularization. I think this limit is chosen to be the same as the template MSI/MSM supplied with the SDK. Bizarrely, the MSI format will permit you to put more data in a field than the 'schema' permits (MSI really being based on a loosely-structured property database, not a strict SQL- or Access-like database). That's where the error comes from. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Friedrich, Oliver Sent: 26 February 2007 13:00 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How long can be an String? Well, ICE03 claims following in Windows-SDK: The string's length is greater than the column width specified by the column definition. Note that the installer does not internally limit the column width to the specified value. See Column Definition Format. So it seems to depend on the Table, but the SDK does not explain what type this column is, only Type: Identifier. Try to shorten it, I do not know how short actually...

I have look at the msdn pages, but don't find an correct maximum value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
