If these are client OS versions you may be getting a system restore checkpoint being created. You need MSI 5.0 and MSIFASTINSTALL to turn that off.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] questions about installer speed and progress monitoring Bob, What kind of failures are handled by this rollback feature? Is it failure like user pressing "cancel" during installation, or rather disk failure, or privileges problem, or files conflict, or something else? I'm trying to asses, how much I need it. Is it possible to switch off that rollback and related bookkeeping? Generally I'd prefer 90% of my users have faster install, rather than 1% of them be able to use rollback when they need it. Unless this rollback is used by more than 1% of the users... :-) thanks Jacek On Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 8:10 PM, Bob Arnson <b...@joyofsetup.com> wrote: > On 2/19/2010 4:37 AM, Jacek Pospychała wrote: > > Do you know what extra does the installer do, that takes so much time? > > It supports rollback which entails extra bookkeeping to be able to > restore files on failure. > > > And > > does it make any change if I e.g. split it to more features, or more > > components. > > > > Not really. > > -- > sig://boB > http://joyofsetup.com/ > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval > Try the new software tools for yourself.
