Light problems aside, I don't recommend you do this period. There are some walls you will hit at install time in terms of performance and errors that can happen when certain versions of windows don't have the right hotfixes or tons of memory available. An installer that big is likely better off built as an MSI and multipel cab's.

While building we get the error below, Whats the best solution to fix this error? 2>light.exe(0,0): error LGHT0296: An error (E_FAIL) was returned while adding files to a CAB file. This most commonly happens when creating a CAB file 2 GB or larger. Either reduce the size of your installation package, raise Media/@CompressionLevel to a higher compression level, or split your installation package's files into more than one CAB file. thanks, Vivek ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
