"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 would recommend the latter. Make a second <Media/> element (give it an Id="2" and a slightly different name than the first), and assign some of your Files and/or Components to DiskId="2". -----Original Message----- From: vivekanandan balaguru [mailto:vivb...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 11:49 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Dealing with packages bigger than 2Gb We are trying to build a MSI package that includes multiple files and total size of all files around 2.3 GB. While building we get the error below, Whats the best solution to fix this error? 2>light.exe(0,0): 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. thanks, Vivek ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Beautiful is writing same markup.
