    Exclamation Decompression error #8

    This is an urgent issue.

    I'm testing a disc-based installer to send to one of our contacts in Asia. It's been a while since we've needed to build an installer to be burned to disc. I keep running into Decompression Error #8, on the same file every time. net helpmsg translates this error as "Not enough storage is available to process this command." but there is plenty of free disc space.

    I ran a filemon trace during installation and it looks like SetupBuilder successfully writes out the entire file, then discovers something it doesn't like and bails, deleting the file in the process. See the attached txt for the significant part of the filemon output. The uncompressed file is 37,718,683 bytes.

    I've tried recompiling the installer several times, it still always bails on that file. A good number of files, some an order of magnitude larger than this one, get successfully written before this one fails. What is going on?
