I have a wix-based installer that always gets installed on C: (and therefore it initializes ROOTDRIVE as follows):
<Property Id="ROOTDRIVE" Value="C:\" /> Even so, MSI apparently still checks all the mapped drives to find which one has the most free space (as it would need to do to automatically set ROOTDRIVE to the drive with the most free space). We deduce this since it takes an enormous amount of time at the beginning of the installer UI when installing on a machine with several very large mapped drives, and doesn't take that time when the machine does not have such drives mapped. MSI still does use the ROOTDRIVE setting that I give it (but it wastes a lot of time checking mapped drives for no useful purpose). I don't need MSI to check all the mapped drives (and it takes way too much time to do so). Is there a way in WIX to prevent MSI from checking the free space of all the mapped drives? (Note: I still want to do file costing against the target C: drive - I just want to limit the drives that are queried for their free space) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
