[wix-users] What do Cabinet error codes mean?

[Jürgen Schäpker]

Is your custom action DLL code signed? In any case, some antivirus 
engines prevent executable code extraction which might be mitigated by 
code signing.

I gave my msi installer to a person and he had a problem during installation

The log says:

As I understood, msi didn`t manage to extract CA to Folder, so that installation failed.
I need to find out, why that could happen.
What  does "Cabinet error code 11" mean?  Is there any list of cabinet error codes with description?
Is there any way to find out, why this could happen to msi?
