Yes, you can safely specify <Property Id="MSIFASTINSTALL" Value="7" /> code (as sample) for enabling this option. This property will be ignored for Windows Installer prior to 5.0 and will be used under installer 5.0. This code will not override MSIFASTINSTALL property, this code will set value for this property for your install session.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installer appears very slow Thank you, I see in the log that it is in fact spending 9 seconds out of 20 of total for creating restore point. Is there a way to specify this MSIFASTINSTALL property value from within Wix? I mean something like: <Property Id="MSIFASTINSTALL" Value="1" /> Would it overwrite the built-in MSI property when install is running on Windows 7?

You can use MSIFASTINSTALL (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd408005(VS.85).aspx) property for disabling this and some other things, but this will work only for Windows Installer 5.0 (Windows 7 only, no redist). -----Original Message----- From: Lena Vinogradov [mailto:lena.vinogra...@quest.com] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 11:21 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Installer appears very slow Hi , I wrote a very small installer - copies about 20 files, starts service, adds entry to firewall exception list. I originally used WixUI_Minimal then had to switch to WixUI_InstallDir with one dialog skipped. Even when I used WixUIMininal the installer seems to be very slow - it takes up to 10 sec on a good machine after you click install (or next ) button until it actually reports copying files/starting service, etc. It's even worse on slow machines. Is there any way to troubleshoot it? What could installer be doing during this time?
