Hello everybody,
Thank you very much for your advices. I tried several options but an issue
still remains.
I was wondering if changing the way I organize components and media can
affect install speed.
What will perform faster:
1. Having 1 component per file, or putting large number of files in a single
component
2. Providing I install from DVD what is faster : uncompressed files or cab .
Note that big chunk of input files is already compressed.
3. Is there any overhead like CRC computation, or anything like performed at
"File Copy"
stage that I could switch off.
Thank you ,
Igor
