I have determined through some trial and error that I was running into length limitations on the Cabinet attribute on the Media tag. I note that it only seems to have come up when using light ; candle doesn't seem to care. In Wix 3.7 (we are slow moving on upgrades) this produces a
light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Function failed during execution Exception Type: Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Msi.MsiException Stack Trace: at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Msi.Database.Commit() at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.GenerateDatabase(Output output, String databaseFile, Boolean keepAddedColumns, Boolean useSubdirectory) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.BindDatabase(Output output, Str ing databaseFile) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.Bind(Output output, String file ) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Light.Run(String[] args) A slightly shorter name triggers ICE03 but builds an MSI anyway (excerpt only below).

Is this fixed in 3.8 and documented? I looked in the WiX and the MSI documentation and don't seem to see anything about lengths here. My two examples are (without the strings: "Training Materials-MaterielsdeFormation-20140414093140.cab" works "Training Materials-Materiels de Formation-20140414093140.cab" does not The names are autogenerated by our Wix front end as being the same as the MSI will ultimately be for simplicity's sake for the time being. Since at present we don't care what the internal CAB name is anyway, I can change this, but knowing the specification will help.
