0x80070020 is SHARING_VIOLATION. Do you have a virus scanner watching the built files? That's the way this happens most often. Virus scanners are notorious for locking up compressed files. I always exempt the build drives from our virus scanners.

I'm not exceeding any of those statements. All files are *individually* < 2GB, and I'm setting up multiple cabs such that none exceed 2GB. I'll double check my wxs file, but I'm pretty sure I tried to verify that. I got this error when I did exceed that: light.exe : fatal error LGHT0017 : Failed to create cab '<path removed>\Temp\kq9kbz9g\client_base.cab' while cabbing file '<filename removed>' with error 0x80070020.
