The services do not have any passwords, install log must be printing PASSWORD unnecessarily in this case. The installer runs with elevated privileges. This delay in installing services is only on win 8, 8.1 systems. Install on win 7 is much faster.
Installing the service from command prompt using sc.exe Create svcName...... also takes 2 minutes. So, I guess the problem is not in the msi. Thank you for all the suggestions in helping out. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/ServiceInstall-takes-2-minutes-to-install-one-service-on-Windows-8-tp7590389p7590482.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
