This is because Windows Installer supports in 32767 files in the file table. Search for the "Authoring a Large Package" in MSI help file.
Workaorund using AdminStudio:
-----------------------------------------
If you are using a standalone repackager:
1. Browse to Repackager folder.
2. Rename IsMsiPKg.itp to IsMsiPKg.bak
3. Copy IsMsiPKgLarge.itp ti IsMsiPkg.itp
4. Perform the conversion and create the MSI.
5. Copy IsMsiPKg.itp.bak to IsMsiPKg.itp thereby restoring the
old file.
If you are using the repackager in a machine where AdminStudio is fully installed:
1. Browse to
\Developer\program files\InstallShield\Developer\Support\0409\
2. Repeat steps 2 - 5.
However, Note that transforms and patches cannot be created between two packages with different column types.
Hope this helps.
