Sounds like a bug in signtool.exe or one of its dependencies (if any) if it works OK on smaller MSIs on the same machine.
Which version of the Windows SDK are you using? I'm using signtool from the v6.1 SDK (have installed v7.0 but I've not gotten around to modifying my build scripts as yet) but the largest MSI with an embedded CAB I've signed is 420MB. The v6.1 & v7.0 SDKs are downloadable in ISO format from the Microsoft download centre if you want to try using one of those. Good luck.

Subject: [WiX-users] Signing problems All - I have had problems trying to sign one of my installers. Smaller msi's sign without any problem but I have an 800Mb msi file that will not sign. I have tried signing it on 2 different machines One of them gives me the error SignTool Error: ISignedCode::Sign returned error: 0x80092002 An error occurred during encode or decode operation. The other one SignTool Error: This file format cannot be signed because it is not recognized. I have been able to build the msi with separate cab files and had no problem signing the cab files (even cabs over 1GB) but I need to deliver a single msi. I have also played around with setting the CompressionLevel on the Media and when I set it to none the msi file was 1GB and I was able to sign it from the machine that complained about the file format but not the other one. Has anyone seen this before? Your help is greatly appreciated. - TC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
