I have a similar problem. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, and it doesn't have anything to do with large number of files (I only have 2 I'm installing and I've been told it's a bug).
I haven't found a workaround so I added a custom string file (CustomStrings.wxl) to my project and added: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <WixLocalization Culture="en-us" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization";> <String Id="WaitForCostingDlgText">Due to a bug in MSI, you are now seeing this message. Please ignore and continue.</String> </WixLocalization> If anyone has a better solution, I'm all ears...
