If I had to guess, Rob's personal preference matches mine which is system
restore is more of a pain and disk hog than it's worth so we disable it on our

I've only seen this on Windows XP where the computer wasn't up-to-date with

Sadly, the API call to create a restore point is blocking and doesn't provide a
callback for status updates.
ugh to get a feel for the full impact of this change.
Could log this as a feature request so the idea doesn't get lost?

Our installer's logs show that it takes 3 minutes to create a restore point
before our software is installed, between the user
accepting the EULA and the UAC prompting the user for admin rights. The
computers we've tested aren't very old or underpowered
either.
