    Question Problems with MSICERT.EXE if more than 100+ CABs in media table?!

    Standard project, 7.02, Windows Installer 2.0.

    I'm building a InstallFromTheWeb release. The MSI file has references to about 150 external CAB files in the Media Table.

    I am using a VBScript & MSICERT.EXE from the SDK to (we have a verisign digital certificate) update the MsiDigitalCertificate & MsiDigitalSignature tables with the signature from each CAB.

    I call MSICERT for each entry in the Media table, but after it gets to the 101st record it crashes with a "could not create unique signature for key" error.

    I'm wondering if this is some kind of Windows Installer limit I am seeing here, or whether it's a genuine bug.

    Alastair,

    This sounds like a limitation in Microsoft's MSICert utility. I would recommend contacting them to submit a bug report.
