As has been mentioned on this list before, properties go just one way between UI and Execute sequences. It is by apparent design that you can't change a property (any property) in the execute sequence and pick up that change in the UI sequence. -Original Message- From: John Cooper

Sorry, I'm not sure why you're getting a long delay there. The difference in patch size might be due to InstallShield using delta patching and Wix using whole file patching. Look in the property pages for the InstallShield patch. If that isn't it, try comparing the patches with Orca/InstEd and
