It's not directly related to WiX but something rather strange happened to me
the other day. On a computer where MS Office is not welcome, we had to install
Outlook for three minutes, just for the time it takes for Thunderbird to pick
up all previous correspondence and settings, then remove Outlook again for
good. Granted, the computer was rather low on memory (128 MB, more has been
added since but was unavailable at the time of the operation), so clearly not
capable of running Office even if the owner wanted it, but we only wanted to
install, not to use. Clearing every single checkbox but Outlook in a customized
setup resulted in 45 minutes (not an exaggeration, measured) of installation.
What's even stranger, uninstallation (removing about 10 MB worth of files) took
the very same amount of time.
Bye,
Gábor
