Installing files takes a very long time per file
Hi.
I am using InstallShield 2010 (Installscript project).
When I get to the stage that the install is taking place, it looks like it has stuck. However I added some trace in to see what was happening, and it seems to take a very long time between copying over each individual file.
Here is an example (note the last few lines with the timestamp):
It only seems to happen (as far as I can see) with assembly files, installing other files like images and text files works fine. I am running it as a local install, no anti-virus is installed.
Any ideas why this happens? Or how I can figure it out?

10:44:08 - -> In OnInstalledFile
10:45:24 - -> In OnInstallingFile
10:45:24 - -> In OnCanceling
It only seems to happen (as far as I can see) with assembly files, installing other files like images and text files works fine. I am running it as a local install, no anti-virus is installed.

Found something interesting.
This is only a problem with an InstallScript project. If I use an InstallScript MSI project it is no longer an issue.
I would still like to figure out why though!
