InstallAware

Hi,

I have a 150MB setup file. The file is extracted fine but then, it takes up to a minute until the first dialog displays. By this time, users think something's wrong.

I have no idea what's causing this although I suspect it is because I've added one of the Visual C++ runtimes. I will check but nontheless - anyone got any experience? How can I show a please wait or something to keep them waiting??

Thanks.

More info - I've checked and indeed removing the C++ runtime solves the problem but why would it take so long to check if prerequisites are required?

So how can I force the runtimes to be installed rather than checking for them?
Or show some dialog while it's checking?? This is horrible UX.

I'm looking for an answer other than - download the redistributable EXE from MS and install it yourself...

Thanks.

Search your setup for an Include Script command that includes the check script for your VC runtime.
Then, you can create a dialog (using the Form Editor) and display that dialog before the check script.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
