Hello,
Yes MSI technology is slower than other installation technologies (Inno
Setup, NSIS, etc.) in any environment.
I have to disagree with that, especially with simple packages like FF.
It only requires you to make a template and then compile. It might be
that other non-reliable methods are faster by fraction of a second, but
everything else takes so much more time that you lose that difference in
noise.
For me it takes about 10 minutes to repackage FF to msi with our
settings in it.
Moreover it takes several month
to master the art of creating good msi packages.
That doesn't seem right to me, but considering how many crappy msi
packages I have seen I can't directly disagree either. I just have
always thought that people that make those crappy msi-packages are
either stupid of lazy. Or both. Or maybe just clueless about windows and
have given order to make msi regardless.
