Put in Each Cab you took out then comment out all the Cabss in the media list, one at at a time. If the first one suceeds, add the second until you get down to the nth one where 1 < n < 31. The one you uncomment last will be the one that can't be built, assuming you start at the top. That means the offending cab will have something in it that WiX doesn't like etc. This method will also rule out the Cab Files that work.
