Hi
I find that Advanced Installer, for all its perks, is lacking in the following areas:
* A build progress indicator. If one has a big install with many files, there is no real indication of how long the build will take. A progress bar would help.
* A "refresh build" option. If only one or two small changes have been made, e.g. adding a shortcut, the ability to just "refresh" the build. In other words, just rebuild the relevant MSI database tables without repackaging all the files etc. etc.
For example, if I make a change to the prerequisites setup.exe, but not to the MSI, I don't want to rebuild the whole MSI.

Along those lines, something else that would be great to have would be a way to abort a build that's currently in progress. I'm working on an installer that's ~80MB at the moment, and it can be somewhat annoying to realize just after I've kicked off a build (which takes several minutes on my system) that I forgot to include a file or change a parameter.
