Hello,

I'm building an installer for a .NET project that relies on ~2 GB of
media files (around 800 files). I'm using the Visual Studio 2010 tools
to manage/build the WiX stuff.

When I try to build the setup project I get the following error:
>  Error        1       Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 
> 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))        light.exe       

If I try to run light.exe manually against the .wixobj, here's what I get:

> light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 
> 0x800
> 0FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))
>
> Exception Type: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
>
> Stack Trace:
>    at 
> Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Cab.Interop.NativeMethods.CreateCabFinish(IntPtr
>  contextHandle)
>    at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Cab.WixCreateCab.Complete()
>    at 
> Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.CabinetBuilder.CreateCabinet(CabinetWorkItem
>  cabinetWorkItem)
>    at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.CabinetBuilder.ProcessWorkItems()

This is my first WiX project. Can anyone help me out with this? What
should be my next steps in troubleshooting?
