Hi,

   I have a msi that installs 4 services just fine on Windows XP and Windows
7 devices. However on Windows 8 and 8.1, it takes 2 minutes to install one
service amounting to 8 minutes in all for just installing the services. Are
there any parameters I can tweak to improve the msi performance?

A typical service definition looks like this

      <Component Id="RunUser" Guid="{..VALUE...}" Location="local"  >
        <Condition></Condition>

        <File Id="RunUser" Source="$(var.RunUser.TargetPath)" 
KeyPath="yes"/>
        <ServiceInstall Name="SVC" DisplayName="!(loc.DisplayName)"
Description="!(loc.Description)"  Start="auto" ErrorControl="ignore"
Type="ownProcess"  />
        <ServiceControl Id="RunAs" Name="SVC" Start="install" Stop="both"
Remove="uninstall" />
      </Component>


thanks!
