what is the _removefilePath? How can i to reduce this time? 30 min is so longer time for custom.
The InstallValidate action is a standard Windows Installer action. As such, we do not have any details on what it does beyond documentation in the Windows Installer SDK, so we be unable to provide any insight into what causes this behavior. Typically, we have seen this action take longer to complete on Vista, possibly due to the Restart Manager functionality provided in MSI 4.0. One thing InstallValidate is responsible for is ensuring all files to be removed are not in use; with 11,000 files, that will likely take a while, and coupled with the Restart Manager integration, may explain the behavior.
If MSI validation of your package does not produce any errors that would seem to be linked to InstallValidate or performance issues, you may try adding the MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL property to your package and set its value to "Disable". If this does not seem to improve the behavior, you may try contacting Microsoft directly for additional assistance.
