ZIP file on Desktop => Installation slow
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2016 2:40 pm
Hi
I use InstallAware X4. Installation and updating my software takes very long if a huge (in this case 800MB) ZIP file is located in the desktop folder.
Checking with sysinternals Process Monitor shows that my setup file setup.exe (located in a folder ..\Desktop\<mysoftware>\setup.exe created with InstallAware X4) performs 440'344 (!) operations with path=..\Desktop\<zipfile> - when ProcMpn is runnig these ops take 44seconds to perform...
(This problem is not new. I use IA since it was bundled with Delphi.)
Why does my setup.exe scan zip files located in the desktop dolder?
How can I solve this problem?
Best regards
Michael
