I believe I am getting an erroneous failure message when building a rather
large Wix project. The project contains a total of 27,654 files in it,
divided among 31 different cabs.  However, after candle/light on the
project, I get a failure after about 6 minutes and no output files are
built. (No .cab, msi, etc)

The error is:

"An error (E_FAIL) was returned while finalizing a CAB file. This most
commonly happens when creating a CAB file with more than 65535 files in it.
Either reduce the number of files in your installation package or split
your installation package's files into more than one CAB file using the
Media element."


I have tried WiX toolset 3.5 and 3.6, from VS2010 and command line builds,
with the same error message.

Has anyone else run into this error before?
Any tips for troubleshooting?
Is this a bug?
Is there a workaround?

Thanks,

mikey
