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?
