There are several things unoptimized in your description below: 1- Heat may have added elements that aren't strictly necessary 2- WPF isn't known as a speed demon 3- Anytime you need to spin up the .NET framework you will incur a runtime penalty 4- Burn adds its own operations to improve the maintainability of your deployments, which cost time as well
The easiest two ways to make your installation faster are 1) use heat just one time, then clean the results to the minimum needed, and 2) replace your Managed BA with a native (C++) BA. > From: mark...@live.it > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Sun, 7 Jul 2013 19:38:08 +0200 > Subject: [WiX-users] Speed up Burn setup > > I have made a setup.exe using Burn and custom WPF UI.I have added some > package as the runtime redistributable and my MSI that I have made using Heat > for harvesting the folders of my application.When I install the package it's > very very slow, is there any way for making the installation faster? > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: > > Build for Windows Store. > > http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev > _______________________________________________ > WiX-users mailing list > WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
