I get the same error with the latest beta. I gather I've run out of memory suds? -- John M.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component. That build is 5 months old. Lots of bugs fixed in that time. However, this particular issue sounds like BUG:1714496. Note the fix for the bug is to print out a friendlier error message not to change the underlying Windows Installer to accept more files. -----Original Message----- From: John Cooper (Volt) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 14:32 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
