When using multiple media elements the file sequence number get all mixed up in the generated .msi. As a result the msi fails to install (x file not found in data1.cab).

Workarounds:

  • Use 1 media element
  • Revert back to version 3.x of wix

Version: WiX 4.0.1621.0

Implement improved file sequence optimization
ecbc858 
First ensures files are grouped by DiskId. Then files are sequenced by
target directory order to optimize MSI installation behavior. Finally,
files are alphabetized in the directory. Additional optimizations could
be considered in the future from here.
