I experience much faster installation on substantially less powerfull
hardware.
Specifically, double-clicking
OOo-Dev_BEA300_m2_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe on fresh Windows XP SP2:
in Virtual PC session (392 of RAM allocated) running on AMD Sempron
1.6GHz takes less than 4 minites (uninstall - 1 minute).
on Pentium M (5 year old machine) 1600MHz with 760 MB of RAM takes 3
minutes (uninstall - 2 minutes).
I suspect that (unless you have fresh Windows install) it might be that
MSI's internal data is fragmented after numerous installs/uninstalls and
that is slowing the installation.

Hi,
since we are required to do a manual deinstallation of OpenOffice.org
Developer Snapshot because of issue
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=88381 "Office crashes
after update installation with m7" it became quite obvious that our
installation times seem significant high compared to other applications.
I need on my Dual Core, 1GB Ram, WinXP Laptop about 12-14 minutes to
install OpenOffice (BEA300_m2), the deinstallation of BEA300_m1 even
took lot longer time (~30 minutes ?). Is it only me experiencing this ?
Do I need to be more patient ?
Martin
