Defrag? Seriously though, costing can be an expensive operation. Reducing disk IO sounds key in your scenario. Not embedding the cabinet means the Windows Installer doesn't have to extract it to disk. Minimizing your FileSearches to only exactly what you need can help as well.
Basically, keep your install as small as possible with as few CustomActions as possible is the best way to get perf up. The WiX toolset is already leaving out all the actions you do not need so I don't think you're going to get any savings there. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of André Pönitz Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2007 2:13 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] CostFinalize Hi all. My boss is currently very disappointed with the startup times of my latest installers. It seems to spend a lot of time in the CostFinalize action [His machine is not much slower than mine, however the harddisk is nearly full, maybe that's an issue] Is there something I can do about it? On a related issue: I noticed that switching from Media/@EmbedCab='yes' to 'no' sped up things already enormously. I wonder whether there are similar 'tricks' wrt Costing...
