Error building Biztalk Project

Hi all,

Im hitting a weird snag while trying to build my biztalk project. Basically, the only two components in this project are a schema and a pipeline. Now, the schema is huge; 25 MB XSD to be exact. as you can imagine, its a very complex schema with custom data types etc.

The error I get is
\”
Error 6 Unexpected error writing metadata to file ‘c:\\Development\\Throwaway\\TestInboundSchema\\TestInboundSchema\\obj\\Development\\~TestInboundSchema.dll’ — ”
\”
… and thats it, no error number or any help what so ever. I suspect its a memory issue since VS is utilizing 600MB of memory trying to build, and 300 otherwise. Also, when I go to the schema properties and tell it to not compile it as part of the project, it works fine.

But that brings on another catch, (obviously, the pipeline component needs to have this schema type in its project to be able to do its thing) trying to test the pipeline externally, i get an \”invalid pointer error\” which seems to be a result of not compiling the schema into the project. But publishing the app and testing it on a dev environment, it basically reports that it cannot access \”that\” memory location (\”that\” isnt really reported, but implied)

so it seems like the only solution is to get that schema compiled.. my question is HOW???? is it just a question of adding RAM to the dev machine? I mean this is a rinky dink P4 machine with 1G of RAM for dev with W2k3 R2 AND SQL2005 on it… so it is stressed a bit if you cant imagine.
are there switches i can flip and allow it to eat more memory and compile this thing?

Any help would be greedily accepted and appreciated.

btw, Ive gotten this to work on several other schemas that are built in the same manner but arent quite as big. The schema basically mirrors a database and this one has about 160 tables. The others never got above 100..

Thanks
