if the file has a large header then CRC can be an issue. You may need to set initCrcLength.

try to run this command in elevated command prompt (as admin):

c:\programfiles\splunk\bin\splunk.exe list inputstatus

I think it's not about file size, it's about file specifications.
Can you upload a sample file?
Do you know the specifications of the update?
