InstallShield 2014 setup.exe takes more time compared to IS 12
InstallShield 2014 setup.exe takes more time compared to IS 12.
I had ported an IS 12 project to IS 2014 premier version.
While silent installation with same set of parameters I found that New Setup.exe takes more time to get installed.
While MSI running time is same.but time taken by setup.exe to run .msi is increased considerably.
The analysis found that setup is creating .tmp files and some other files in windows %temp% folder before running .msi.
But these operations are less in case of IS 12 moreover no .tmp files are getting created in IS 12 installer.
Following is the process explorer logs for extra operations in IS 2014

.......
Does anyone has any idea on this or how to avoid these extra operations in IS 2014.
Thanks.

I'm unclear what you're trying to report or ask here. If I'm reading your post correctly, you've highlighted an operation that takes less than 1/10 of one second, from 12:04:03.0177839 to 12:04:03.0972901. Could you clarify what overall problem you are facing? Perhaps a statement like for a XXX meg compressed setup.exe, it takes YYY seconds in InstallShield 2014 instead of ZZZ seconds in InstallShield 12 to show the InstallWelcome dialog after launching setup.exe would better explain this.
(I'm less concerned with raw read/write traces than with reasonable overall clock times for the sizes in question. I believe the raw steps you describe are related to enhanced compression that was added since InstallShield 12.)

Hi MichaelU
Thank you very much for your input.
I will elaborate the problem.
Background:
I had few CD-ROM installer Projects for some desktop applications which were built using InstallShield12.
Now we have ported all those projects to InstallShield 2014 Premier version.
Now the next thing is we have another C++ based application(like a suite installer) where we call these Installers Setup.exe silently provoding few command-line options based on users selection of the application.
problem
Now from this Suite installer like Application... If I use InstallShield12 built Installers, installing them takes lesser time than using InstallShield 2014 built Installers.
This time difference is significant(keeping the same environment of h/w and OS.)
Observation
Analyzing further, by checking MSI Logs I observed that MSI running time for the same application built in IS12 and IS 2014 is same.
But the time-gap between to continues MSI runs is significantly larger with IS2014 built application
now by checking in process explorer i found that this time is consumed between the actual call of Setup.exe to the call of MSI and then after MSI returns then again Setup.exe ends after a few seconds(3 seconds on an average).
ApplicationA(Setup.exe)-->ApplicationA MSI-->ApplicationA(Setup.exe) then ApplicationB(Setup.exe)-->ApplicationB MSI-->ApplicationB(Setup.exe).....so on
the arrows(-->) show the extra time taken in InstallShield 2014 built Installers.(one arrow costs 3 seconds of time approxomately)
So for one application install the time increased is 6 seconds(setup.exe--->xxx.msi--->setup.exe)
Quoting to your query,
>>If I'm reading your post correctly, you've highlighted an operation that takes less than 1/10 of one second, from 12:04:03.0177839 to 12:04:03.0972901.
these 1/10th of a second operations collectively turns in considerable time gap nearly 4-5 seconds.
and then again some operations like mentioned earlier.
I dont know if these are some checks added for InstallShield 2014 .
Please provide some inputs.

Now another issue is:
With an Antivirus Software named"Virus Buster" installed at the target machine,the InstallShield 2014 built installers takes longer time in installation than the InstallShield12 built installers. this time difference is considerable.
The same issue is seen by another project which has been ported from InstallShield 12 to InstallShield2010.
Checking the MSI logs I could see that there is no extra action taking place, rather creation and closing of MSI Handle is consuming extra time.
Aggregating all such time gaps it turns into huge delay.
Any inputs... or in case if this is known issue for all the InstallShield versions released after InstallShield12?

I haven't heard of this before; in fact I hadn't even heard of Virus Buster before today. Wikipedia claims it was cancelled after August 2012, however, so I'm not sure I would consider it an effective solution.
If you have confirmed that uninstalling Virus Buster resolves the performance difference between InstallShield 2014 and InstallShield 12, then I would suspect a problem with the anti-virus software that is somehow revealed by recent versions of InstallShield.

Hi MichaelU,
Thanks for your inputs.
Quoting to your line"If you have confirmed that uninstalling Virus Buster resolves the performance difference between InstallShield 2014 and InstallShield 12"
The difference in performance exists even without Virus Buster installed on my system.
With Virus Buster this additional delay is an add-on on the existing problem.
My tests for one particular application installer are as:
InstallShield 2014 built Installer: 22 seconds(without Virus Buster installed) & 65 seconds (with Virus Buster installed)
However,
InstallShield 12 built Installer: 13 seconds(without Virus Buster installed) & 17 seconds (with Virus Buster installed)
(the system configuration and the OS environment has been kept constant)
Thanks,
Vikram

Is there any chance that in releases view that the compression setting has changed between the two versions? I know that our installation speed is affected by the compression ratio for the setup.exe. I am probably way out in left field on this but it is something to consider. For our use we use the least amount of compression for a single setup.exe.
