Set Directory action is slow
In the user UI I have a custom action (Type 35) to change the installation path. This action is triggered by the user selecting the "Next" button where the following dialog would display a summary of items to be installed and their install locations.....and the option to "Install".
The problem arises on the execution of the Set Directory custom action where is takes up to 3 mins to modify the 85 properties (Components). Looking at the verbose log file I don't see any reason why modifying certain properties takes longer than others.
This is taken directly from the log...where modifying 12 properties takes almost 1 minute
[11:03:59:725]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying COMP1 property.
[11:04:22:810]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying COMP2 property.
[11:04:22:810]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying COMP3 property.
[11:04:22:810]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying COMP4 property.
[11:04:23:981]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying COMP5 property.
[11:04:23:981]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying COMP6 property.
[11:04:31:358]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying COMP7 property.
[11:04:31:358]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying COMP8 property.
[11:04:31:358]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying COMP9 property.
[11:04:31:358]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying COMP10 property.
[11:04:48:542]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying COMP11 property.
[11:04:50:319]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying COMP12 property.
How can I improve this? 3 minutes after clicking the "Next" button is a long time to wait for the user when it's only modifying 85 properties.
Before you all ask......ICE warnings are clear 🙂 via Orca and Installshield.
Type 35 custom action is after the CostFinalize in the UI Sequence.
