Hi,
It takes around 30 minutes to build my msi. I learnt that it is possible to
reduce the time by,
- Increasing the cab files count.
- lowering the compression ratio
- removing ICE validation
- reusing cabs
I was able to increase the cab files count and lower the compression ratio

WorkingDirectory contains the name of the property that has the path.
Try convert "StartinDir" to all uppercase and set Secure="yes", so that it

My understanding, this is the expected behavior. The component is being
rolled back, so if the component created the database on install, and a
rollback occurs, the database will be deleted to completely rollback the
entire transaction.
During an upgrade, you can't use that same inside the

Gilad, could you detail what the database code pages are set to? From the
Windows Installer SDK, you can use msiinfo /d *msifilename* to retrieve the
database code page (note this is not the same as the summary information
code page). Or if you can reproduce a small issues I would like to review it
Thanks. That really help! I created an vbscript to handle this case.
