Hi,
Im using InstallShield 12 with an install script, and no MSI.
I see a delay at the file copy step, right when the status dialog opens, but before file copy occurs. The delay is about 1 minute, then the status bar begins moving.
What is hapenning at that time? Can I reduce this delay?
Are files being copied to a temp and cache folder?
When does decompression happed for each feature?
My install is large at around 700MB installed. I have just 2 cab files. Data2.cab is 350MB (compressed), Data1.cab is 23MB. Would more .cab files help?
Thanks,
Smithy

I would recommend using SysInternals' Process Monitor along with the IS debugger to better understand where/how that time is being spent.

Could be the creation of a system restore point. You can put
Disable( PCRESTORE );
in you OnBegin event handler to turn this off.
