If a .wixobj ends up a table with > 32 columns then the error message loading it is really bad. This can happens if an extension has an invalid table definition (MSI tables can't have more than 32 columns):

Error: C:\path\to\my.wixobj : error LGHT0048 : The document element name 'wixObject' is invalid. A WiX output file must use 'wixOutput' as the document element name.

This happens because the .wixobj parsing fails and is eventually tried to be loaded as a .wixout. That doesn't work and you get this poor error message. The error message should explain the table definition that is invalid and why it is invalid.
