How large? Maybe we're hitting the size problem a different way. What is the latest version of the WiX toolset that you are using?

Just the flat release directory I'm working with right now has 21,297 files. But the "goal" install optionally includes a good chunk of the source tree to the tune of slightly over 330,000 files. -- John M. Cooper P.S. I don't make the requirements, I just try to implement them. :) -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 3:13 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

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.
