My installer is extracting several ZIP files during installation. I've noticed that this process is extremely slow. I can extract the files on my desktop using WinZip in a matter of a couple seconds, but during the install, this process takes 10 minutes!
I noticed that all the extracted files and directories are being recorded in the registry. I thought this might be related to having the "Remove extracted files on uninstall" option checked, which would make sense as the installer would need to know which files to delete. However, even with that option unchecked, everything is still recorded in the registry. Is there some way to disable this? Or any other way to speed up the extraction process? I am fine with deleting the extracted directories on uninstall without regards to their contents.
