They were not able to provide much help with the problem. I was referencing SignTool that comes with VS 2005 in the email I sent them. Their response was:
"In response to your email, we know of no restrictions on file size regarding Microsoft's latest Signing tools. However seeing as you're able to complete the signing process on a file which is 293MB but cannot complete the same process on a file size of 1.1GB, then this would seem to indicate that such a restriction exists. You may want to consider contacting Microsoft support to see if there is a workaround that would allow the signing process to be completed on such a large file or there would be any additional steps one need to perform before attempting the signing process." I just got this today and have not yet tried emailing Microsoft about SignTool. You are correct Magus, I did know about the 2GB cab file size limit. ~Jim Snider -----Original Message----- From: Magus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 30, 2006 3:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Digitally Signing large Cab files (OT?) If your using Verisign, they should be able to answer your questions expecially since you should be paying them. Also a note if your CAB is over 2 gigabytes its corrupt. It will allow you to create it, but just try reading out of it. Miscrosoft has an article about it I believe. Jim Snider wrote: > > > Hello group.
