Sean, I was able to get your suggestion to work perfectly, and it is FAST! Steps I performed in case anyone needs this info:
1) Used WinRAR to build a self extracting SFX archive for my install package that contained 3600 files. I set the setup.exe with all my quiet install/suppress reboot switches to run after the archive expands. This is all set inside the WinRAR SFX advanced option tab. Just as a note, this 3600 file setup package I am trying to include in my Burn chain is a setup.exe that calls an MSI. I almost got tripped up by not understanding the return code from my MSI: 2) In Burn, I had to add an ExitCode of 4010 as successful because I am suppressing reboot of my package until the next two packages in my chain complete. MSI return code for [Success + Reboot needed to complete install] = 3010. WinRAR adds 1000 to each exit code so I had to make sure 4010 was seen as successful by Burn. (Took me several hours to figure out what was going on here but I finally did) Setup and speedy and fluid. Thanks so much for your suggestion. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Slow-Verifying-of-chained-Exepackages-tp7599290p7599307.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
