I do not have your answer. But I do recall something that seems
it may be related: back when service pack 1 for Visual Studio
2005 released it would fail to install and MS posted directions
for a work-around for the failure to verify signature of the MSI
due to the large size of the MSI (basically disabling the required
verification for administrators was the work-around).
The release notes for the SP point to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925336/en-us
which basically says that there has to be sufficient contiguous
memory and which says this is W2k3 SP1 (which usually also
means W2k3 R2 gold) specific.
So, perhaps you should follow up with msi related KBs (?)
Just how to turn from verification of signing to the act of signing
and get at info on this is an open question for me however.

Hi,
Posted this in microsoft.public.platformsdk.security....was informed to
post
it here instead!
I have created a large MSI database (1.32GB) using Installshield 2008 and
it
failed on signing the MSI. Fair enough, I thought, a bit odd, but I can
sign
the file myself.
I ran the following cmd line:
signtool sign /a /n "Blah" /d "Blah Blah" /t
http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll install.msi
got the following output:
Done Adding Additional Store
SignTool Error: ISignedCode::Sign returned error: 0xC0000005
An unknown error has occured. Please contact your vendor for
assistance.
SignTool Error: An error occurred while attempting to sign: install.msi
Number of errors: 1
--
Now, using the exact same command line, I have no trouble signing
executables/msp's etc and a previous version of the file (at around 900
MB)
signed successfully about 8 months ago.
For the record, the installation runs fine.
I can't seem to find any information on the interwebs, so I turn to MSDN.
Can someone point me to at least a starting point to solving the problem,
please?
I am using Vista x64 Business with SP1RC and 2003 Server SDK R2
Thanks
