AI 16 crash building MSI installer

[ClaesG]

Hi,

When I build an msi with external cab file after a while the AI 16 crashing without error msg.

Is there a maximum limit on external cab file?
The package consists of around 1100 files and 700 folders, the total size of raw data is 5.69 GB

Sorry for my bad English

Regards

Hello Claes,

Yes, there is a limit. The operating system does not support a cabinet file larger than 2GB and thus, no larger MSI than 2GB can be created.

A solution to this would be to have your resources next to the MSI. After doing so, you should split your project in several features and then use the "One CAB archive per feature" option from "Builds" page.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Catalin
