Hang while building

Post by mr. dizzle »

We're currently giving your Studio software a trial for a large commercial project, and I'm trying to make an installer which has 86,817 files (11.0Gb). Obviously building something this large takes quite a while so I used the uncompressed option and left it over the weekend building. I came back this morning to find that Build Progress dialog has stopped. The disc animation has stopped. The dialog is still responsive, but it is not doing anything.

To be honest, I don't really have the time to waste trying another full build, so unless someone can shed some light on this, I'll probably have to move on and try another solution.

Did you specify each file manually, or did you use wildcards? Using wildcards will significantly speed up your build.

Similar Problem

I've had a simialr problem with large and small builds that have been canceled and then restarted sometime in the process. To get it working again it requires a reboot and then the project will build fine - as long as you do not cancel it again.
