Hi:
I have to deploy a Visual Basic .NET application that uses a 500mb access .mdb file. I've trying to pack the .mdb file into de setup project under the application folder but I've always get an error while building the project: "Could not find file" and something about "not enough space to complete this operation". If I use a smaller mdb file (same file after deleting some records) then the project builds successfully.
Is there a limit for files' size in setup projects Does anyone know something about this error
Thanks in advance

Just a thought....
There are two ways you can compress an access file. You can compress it with Access and JRO and you can compress with zip. I find that Access files are AMAZINGLY compressible.
Also what happens when compress it with NTFS I'm sure you've thought of these things but I thought I'd ask.
