Faster Installation Speed

We are using Advanced installer to bundle our CI build files and make them into an install package, however some of the applications take a substantially longer amount of time to install than others. Is there any advice on making the installation process shorter?

Re: Faster Installation Speed

Hello and welcome to our forums,

To shorten the installation time you can build your setup pacakage as an MSI with CAB outside. ALso, if you build an EXE setup type you can build it as an EXE with resources outside. This way the CAB extraction operation will be eliminated from the installation process.

You can also use the options under the "Minimize Installation Time" section from "Install Parameters" page.

All the best,
Daniel
