Hi! Installers created by craft's current NullsoftInstallerPackager show a somewhat confusing behavior: The installation progress bar gets stuck midway for a looong time (potentially several minutes), while moving pretty fast, otherwise. Nothing seems to happen in the installer "details" window during this time, either. For RKWard we've actually seen reports of users who thought the installer had crashed and canceled the installation. I can only guess how many others canceled the installation *without* reporting their experience.
The cause of this "hang" is that at this point, the installer is actually unpacking a single very large file: a 7z archive of most of the package contents. Given that NSIS itself performs a pretty solid compression, I think this "double packaging" is not really needed, and does more harm than good. Evidently, however, considerable work has gone into creating the installer in this way, so I guess I may be overlooking something. Is this something to keep? Thomas
