.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Enterprise Tools / May 2004Visual Studio Installer for VS.Net 2003 problem
I am trying to build a VS.net 2003 deployment project with 1,728 files and 1.82Gb of data. I believe that I have hit a limitation in Visual Studio .Net 2003 Installer. It runs for a very long time and then I get the message about not enough storage to complete the operation. ------ Starting pre-build validation for project 'TestSetupEN' ------ ------ Pre-build validation for project 'TestSetupEN' completed ------ ------ Build started: Project: TestSetupEN, Configuration: Debug ------ Building file 'D:\Dev\TestSetupEN\TestSetupEN\Debug\TestSetupEN.msi'... ERROR: Could not find file 'D:\Dev\GameFiles\Scenes\Puzzle\Puzzle_G1.pvd' 'Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.' This happens on random files and the only way I can get a build to complete is to reduce the number of files in the deployment. I have tried CAB files, and loose files with the same result. I have also built multiple merge modules and tried to combine them into the project with the same result. Is this just a hard and fast limit somewhere? Like in the MSI database itself or in VS.net If so, then this is a serious problem for game developers trying to use VS.net for deployment. TIA for any thoughts, similar experiences or workarounds. da Hi Dave, This seems to be a known issue. What is the largest size among the files in your project? How large is "Puzzle_G1.pvd"?

Hi Dave, Could you also monitor the hard disk and memory usage during the process? Please make sure we have enough free disk space for this huge MSI package on the system drive, the drive holding the %Temp% folder as well as the drive holding the page file. In addition, are we running out of memory?

Felix, What do you mean by "seems to be a known issue"? Are there are specific limitations you can share with us, please?

Thank you for responding Felix. I have 1Gb of memory. I do notice that the peak memory usage and VM size of Visual Studio .net gets huge. Peak memory usage gets to 1Gb and VM size to 1.5Gb. In terms of disk space, I have 7.6Gb free on C and 17Gb free on D so it would not seem to be a disk issue. There are around 2,000 items to install including files and folders. The largest is 62Mb (1 file), 30Mb (6 files), 10Mb (30 files), then everything else is 5Mb or less. This could be typical of a game requiring sound, video, textures etc. Like video cut-scenes (the biggest). The Puzzle file this one failed on is 28Mb. I am not trying to package the bigger files with CAB so they are already compressed. I am using loose packaging. Is this known issue a size issue for the MSI file or for the Visual Studio Installer?

Hi Dave, I suspect the issue is caused by running out of memory. I will keep you updated if I have any new findings on this issue.

Felix, Is there a link you can provide to the known issue please.

Hi, Dave and Carsten Felix found a bug report that documents a similar error when a single file exceeds 350MB. You don't have any files that bit, so I'm not sure as yet whether it relates or not. The bug report focused on the lack of a meaningful error message indicating that they were out of disk space. In the case of the bug, a temporary file was created in the D:\Documents and Settings\PatBak\Local Settings\Temp, which eventually ran out of disk space. It doesn't sound like disk space is an issue on your machine. I talked to an MSI specialist, and he had never heard of an MSI that large. I've created a grace (no cost) service request to address this issue ane attempted to send an email to you with the case number. If it doesn't get there, please send me an email. Just remove "online." from my alias.
