2213 - Database: [2]. Error saving database tables

I have seen this in these circumstances (when committing the database - nice one...):

  1. Where you have saved a non-MSI file in the "_Storages" table. Note that not just any file can be added as a storage.

  2. A binary resource being added to the MSI doesn't exist, while the filename is recorded earlier the file itself is not read until the MSI is committed!

    If you used the MAKEMSI "Binary" command (which validates the file exists) then perhaps the file has since been deleted or it can't be read (in use).

  3. You have corrupted the database with a A Windows Installer _Streams table key longer than 62 bytes corrupts the database.
