Uninstall hangs on ReadToRemove dialog
Hi. In my UI Sequence, I've added the ReadyToRemove dialog (I've put it just before the PatchWelcome). I set the condition to REMOVE="ALL". This works fine, except for when the dialogbox first appears, it hangs for a couple of minutes. I've added a tickbox to that dialog, and I can't select it or do anything else until it's finished whatever it's doing during the hang.
I've tried uninstalling via the command line so I can generate a log file, and the last thing it shows before hanging is:
Thanks for any help with this,
Dan.

Actually, this is probably a more helpful log:
Note that I've put the "**********" to indicate where the log file ends whilst the hang is happening. The rest is written after the hang finishes. Note the times though - so the position of the "**********" may just be a log file flushing thing.
So it looks like the pause is in the SFCleanupEx dll function?

Unfortunately, I didn't get anywhere with this (even after opening an Installshield support ticket). We basically had to ship our software with that hang :mad:

Yeah, on a quick look at the log snipped you posted (which I'm not certain is a verbose log - those should help somewhat more), it looks likely that the hang is in Costing. As the Windows Installer engine performs costing as a nearly black box to us, it's hard to influence it, other than to cut back on any superfluous setup complexities.
