I'm currently building a MSI with over 30k files in it (25 CABS) without issue, though I've been using 3.7/3.8.
By chance do you have any AV software running on your build machine? What is the overall size of the files being put into the CAB's (would any single CAB be over 2GB)? -----Original Message----- From: fiddler mikey [mailto:fiddlermi...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 7:01 PM To: wix-users Subject: [WiX-users] LGHT0306 Error - less than 30K files I believe I am getting an erroneous failure message when building a rather large Wix project. The project contains a total of 27,654 files in it, divided among 31 different cabs. However, after candle/light on the project, I get a failure after about 6 minutes and no output files are built. (No .cab, msi, etc) The error is: "An error (E_FAIL) was returned while finalizing a CAB file. This most commonly happens when creating a CAB file with more than 65535 files in it. Either reduce the number of files in your installation package or split your installation package's files into more than one CAB file using the Media element." I have tried WiX toolset 3.5 and 3.6, from VS2010 and command line builds, with the same error message. Has anyone else run into this error before? Any tips for troubleshooting? Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?
