Hi, When Building .wixout's for large installations and with the -df (Bind files) switch set, Light fails with the following message: light.exe : error LGHT0296 : An error (E_FAIL) was returned while adding files to a CAB file. This most commonly happens when creating a CAB file 2 GB or larger. Either reduce the size of your installation package, raise Media/@CompressionLevel to a higher compression level, or split your installation package's files into more than one CAB file. I infer from this message, that wixout's store media internally in one .cab, without regard to the cabing arrangements in the target installation. Is this true? Incidentally, this .wixout can be built if the -bf flag is not set, and an msi can then be built from the .wixout. I mention this to rule out actual .cab file sizing errors. Should I raise a bug, for this or is there a reason for this behaviour?
