cannot handle large number of files

[JamesGKent]

I use this package for both wrapping up my python scripts and for wrapping up other things into installers simply due to its ease of use and script-ability compared to the other tools I've tried, however recently I've found a limitation in that it cannot handle more than 32767 files, this is documented by Microsoft as a limitation along with a way to work around this.

would it be possible to implement the workaround, possibly enabled by a flag in the setup rather than auto detecting?

if not then due to this limitation it would be good to flag the error properly rather than getting the traceback from msilib without explanation:
