I have an installation which consists of around 7,000 files. Each file is in
it's own Component. The WXS file is auto generated during build time (via heat)
so names, guids, etc. are auto generated. The MSI is started from an External
UI via the Deployment SDK's Installer.InstallProduct() method. The issue I am
having is that I have a few machines in which this install takes 20+ minutes to
complete. If I run the MSI (internal UI with 2 dialog boxes) directly it
completes in less than 4 minutes. I have other machines where the installer
always completes in less than 4 minutes, even when launched via the External
UI. The windows installer logs show two troubled spots; InstallValidate and
InstallFinalize. Note time stamps for each. Multiple this by 7,000 and there is
a huge difference. -- Fast Machine InstallValidate (about 10 sec.):Action start
11:17:12: InstallValidate.

InstallValidate. Return value 1. InstallFinalize is very similar in that each
"Executing op: ComponentRegister" and "Executing op: FileCopy" is taking much
longer on some machines. I am not sure how to correct the issues or where the
root cause can be found. Aside from tracking down machine differences, is there
any guidance on how to proceed with resolving this issue? What type of machine
difference would cause such behavior? Thanks,Dex.
