[WiX-users] Speeding up Light command

2010-04-17 Thread S.P
Hi all,
 
I want to create an install package with WiX,but light command is very very 
slow. It takes about 5 hours to run and create the install package. My install 
package will copy 45478 files and 2190 folder on system.So it includes a large 
number of files to copy.Could you please help me if there is anyway to speed 
this up, without increasing the size of the resulting file?
 
Thanks in advance,
Regards

You should not start a new thread if you just provide some more
detailled information on your own old one. The number of files and
folders is impressive, but not enough: What is the overall source file
size? What is the resulting file size, if you depend on it? Did you
look where your bottleneck is? Is it the harddrive, for example
because of a very slow 4200er hdd for notebooks, is it while
compressing the files, because the CPU-load already is 100%?

Your problem seems to be very special, therefore some background
information should be helpful too. Is it really neccessary to build
all files into one package etc.? Which parameters to light.exe do you
already use? For example there's -dcl:level to set the compression
level.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Thorsten Schöning

  From this SpawnDialog PortNotAvailableDlg, I've two options :


 1.   Click Next To Navigate to next Custom Dialog and that is 
 SharePointAdminSetupDlg

 2.   Click Back To Return to the dialog SharePointWebAppPortDlg


A spawned dialog can't start another wizard-style sequence. It should 
simply return to go back to the dialog under the spawn.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to fire 2 Custom Actions when user clicks
Finishbutton?

Hi, 

 

I already have something below to fire one Custom Action and I need to
add another one to launch App2. For App1, I have a check box on the
Finish dialog. But for app2, I don't really need a check box. I just
need a way to fire it when a user clicks the Finish button in the
following code.

 

UI

Publish Dialog=MyExitDialog Control=Finish

 Order=1 Event=DoAction Value=RunApp1

 RUNAPP1ONEXIT

/Publish

/UI

 

By the way I have tried to fire App 2 Custom Action with the following
code,

 

InstallExecuteSequence

Custom Action=LaunchApp2 After=InstallFinalizeNOT
Installed/Custom

/InstallExecuteSequence

 

It doesn't work. The log shows the App2 CA is executed fine but it fails
mystically. I guess there is some timing issue. I see there are still
installations going on after LaunchApp2 is fired. 

 

Both custom actions are sort of working. If I switch RunApp1 and
LaunchApp2 in the above code, both App1 and App2 would run without
problem. But I prefer to give a user an option whether App1 should be
launched or not.

 

Thank you.

 

Louis Z.
