Re: [WiX-users] Performance issues

Title: Message

FWIW I noticed when testing an MSI on our XP Embedded units that MSIs w/ compression installed noticibly slower than the same component set w/o compression.  We install ~200+ files in various binary and text formats.   _________ Bob Rafuse -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Arnson Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2006 10:34 AM To: Simon Topley Cc: 'wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Performance issues Simon Topley wrote: I'm sure this is a problem others have encounted. I have now replace our suite of installsheild products with spanky new WIX versions. I have managed to elimitnate a large amount of redundant code (previous installers copied large amounts of file that were never used). Most of the installers are now half the size in compressed form. Dispite this the installation process now takes longer (so I'm told, I intend to run some performance tests later today). Is there a standard explaination for this that I can give to people (i.e. talk to city hall) I am playing with the idea of having internal versions (products that will only be used by testers and support staff) as uncompressed in the hope that most of the time is being spent extracting files. Was the InstallShield package also compressed? Are the tests being run over the network? Sometimes bandwidth constraints make it faster to have a compressed image. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org --- This communication contains confidential information.
