Hello everyone, when i build my project it shows error 7108, %s is too large to store in a CAB (2GB maximum). My installation size is 15GB and one of files are more than 2GB (3.2GB, 2.55GB etc). How to solve it? I edited settings.xml of installshield 2009. But same error.
Component can add maximum file size of 2GB. Any file beyond this will not be added and cannot be build. There are some limitation on build a cab file
Limits of the CAB file format The only compressed file type supported natively by Windows Installer is the Cabinet (CAB) format. The following limits apply to this file format.
No one file in a CAB can exceed 2GB Maximum size of all files in one folder (compressed) 2GB Maximum size of a CAB file (compressed) 2GB Maximum number of files in a single CAB 64K You can avoid these limits by splitting your setup into multiple CABs, possibly up to 64K * 2GB, or by placing your application files on the distribution disk uncompressed.

Tnx for reply, so how to i build my install. I choose build media to DVD5 or Cuctom (1GB sized). But same error. How to split my setup?
OK, tnx for your quick reply, MSI based setups can't CAB more than 2GB file. I used Install Script Based Setup and it made without any error. 🙂 I'm newbie in installshield 😉
