This error can be thrown if the number of files exceeds 32,767.

Windows Installer only supports 32,767 files in the file table, and therefore the error is thrown as the table is unable to build anything bigger.
There are ways to manually modify the schema of the MSI database to allow larger numbers and instructions on how to do so can be found here :
