[WiX-users] File and Directory Table limits

2010-04-12 Thread anwer nehal

Hello Everyone

 

I am authoring a large msi package with 70k files and 40k components.  I 
checked File, Media, and Validation tables for short integer and they all are 
using long (I4).


For some reason I get the following error even after taking care of issues 
found in msival:

The installer has encountered an expected error installing this package.  This 
may indicate a problem with this package.  The error code is 2705.

 

The installer is authored in WiX 3.5.  I have tried both creating 14 cab files 
without embedding to not using cab files, but no cigar.

 

The detailed log shows:

DEBUG: Error 2705:  Invalid table Directory:  Could not be linked as tree.

The directory table has 82540 rows.

I know the undocumented limit of component table to be 16bit (65536).  Does 
same limit applies to any/all tables in msi?

I am clueless as to where to look:)

 

I really need to get this done but am running in circles so any suggestion or 
ideas are welcomed.

 

Please help!

 

Thanks

Hi Bob

 

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, I meant the limitation in msi.  I know this is WiX 
forum, but asked in case others have run into it using WiX 3.5 since it is in 
beta.

 

Will post to msi group.

 

Thanks

 If they do, they're in MSI, not WiX. You might want to check with an MSI 
 newsgroup.
