[wix-users] heat.exe System.OutOfMemoryException help

> Farrukh
Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried executing it via batch file
but same error. (but seems like different stack trace)

heat.exe : error HEAT0001 : Exception of type
'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.

Exception Type: System.OutOfMemoryException

Stack Trace:
   at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Serialize.ElementCollection.SequenceItem..ctor(Type
elementType)
   at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Serialize.Fragment..ctor()
