I also had that problem when running O&O Clevercache on NT4. Installshield
just crawled along.
So check that you're not running any disk caching software or that virus
checkers aren't slowing it down.

Hi All,
I have a bizzare problem. Firstly I have an install set of my app using the
out of the box ISExpress. This works fine and has done for some time.
My app will not install on a new clients PC. The PC is a bit of a kamakooza
but runs OK. It's a floppy based install. PROBLEM is it runs but at an
absolute snail pace. I thought there was a floppy problem so I copied each
disk image to the HDD and ran it from there. It still ran at snail pace. By
this I mean it normally takes two minutes to do the whole install, on this
PC it advances 1% every 2 two minutes !! And it's not just the decompression
stage, even the preamble dialogs asking for install directory etc all paint
really slowly, respond to key clicks slowly etc. Infact the entire win95
system grinds to a halt while the IS install app is running (just running,
not even at teh decompress stage yet). It's odd !!
As a test I've tried installing Word, Publisher and Act, they all run OK. I
tried the BDE5.01 upgrade as a test too as it uses IS, and it has the same
problem.
Is there a known compatability problem with IS ? Anyone seen anything
remotely like this before ??
Any ideas much appreciated
TIA
