Summary: light.exe crashes when ICE03: String overflow is encountered
Initial Comment:
I've been running heat on some directories to try to
generate merge modules.
Everything has been going well until one directory
which has files with long file names gets processed by
light. light.exe crashes because of this.
The component
tmp.wxs(3482) : warning LGHT1076 : ICE03: String
overflow (greater
than length permitted in column); Table: Component,
Column: Component,
Key(s):
apifnsm_adjust_agc_module_params.html.E2904247_E12E_4BA8_9815_E506E96D53DA
Once this happens light crashes and the debugger says:
"Unhandled exception at 0x003c32d8 in light.exe:
0xC0000005: Access
violation reading location 0xffffffff. "
If I process the wxs file to reduce the length of the
Component ids and File ids, no ICE warnings occur and
no crash occurs.

Fascinating. Although this code has been checked in for
months, somehow you and a Microsoft user managed to hit this
issue on the same day - which I think is just incredible.
At any rate, I've already debugged this and the fix should
be in the next weekly release. Please let me know if the
next release does not solve this problem.

Thanks for clearing things up.
Two directories were created and I ran the command in both.
The merge modules were different sizes.
d2mkokfy contained the idt files also.
fthakwhn just contained the msm.
d2mkokfy>"e:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\bin\MsiInfo.Exe"
product.msm /D
String ID size: 2
Code page: 0
fthakwhn>"e:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\bin\MsiInfo.Exe"
product.msm /D
String ID size: 2
Code page: 0
Error 1620. String Pool Index (9523) for table data is
greater than max string Id (9445)
Hope it helps.

Skipping validation won't test the scenario I'm interested
in. Crashing light is fine. It should still produce a
merge module file in the validation temporary location. If
light crashes without reporting the validation temp
location, you can monitor your temp directory and just look
in the one of the most recent folders - it will contain the
likely corrupted file.
Yes, a merge module should be equivalent to an MSI.

MSI.dll - version 3.1.4000.2435
darice.cub from wix-3.0.1821.0-binaries.zip

If I run
> light.exe --notidy product.wixobj
it crashes before it can generate the files you mentioned.
I tried
> light.exe -sval -notidy product.wixobj
to avoid the validation and it does complete
and I get the following
Binder temporary directory located at
'C:\DOCUME~1\blah\LOCALS~1\Temp\4cbwmebq'.
which contains

Will it generate the files you want for a merge module?

Ok, looks like your crashing in msi.dll.
Please try the following:
Run light with the -notidy option. This should save two msi
files: one for the binder and one for the validator.
Take the msi file created for the validator and run:
msiinfo product.msi /D
msiinfo is available as part of the Windows Installer SDK.
Running this command will perform a special check on the MSI
file to ensure its a legal MSI file. Please let me know
what the result of this check is.
Also:
What version of Windows Installer is installed on your
machine (usually c:\windows\system32\msi.dll)?
Where did you get darice.cub from?
