WinCE CabWiz error: "inf contains DirIDs, which are not supported"

Question

When building the windows mobile cab for our product, the windows CE CAB Wizard (CabWiz.exe) sometimes returns the error:

Error: File c:\docume~1\build\locals~1\temp\wiz3340.inf contains DirIDs, which are not supported

This error can occur when using more than 998 files, ~260 directories, or when a % sign is unescaped (with another %), but these don't apply in our case.

Has anyone run into this issue before? Thanks!

I ran into this issue today, and found a solution for me that worked here:
