Chris, John, Thanks for the suggestions. I tried a vm with Server 2008 as a base OS (instead of 2003) and it seems to help considerably. I did a couple of trials and the set of merge modules took only 10+ minutes. The 2003 based vm takes ~ 90 minutes. The real hardware (with 2003) takes about 20-30 minutes.
I haven't yet attempted to quantify what the bottleneck is/was, but moving to Server 2008 seems to be the simplest mechanism moving forward. thanks, bill -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Build-speed-suggestions-tp5616138p5627789.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
