>Thread-Topic: Setup package running slow

>Hello,
>
>I have created a setup for our product using the Visual Studio Setup
>project. The project has close to 500MB of content that is included along
>with the file structure inside the setup project. When the final msi
package
>is built it's file size is 208MB.
>
>When I or customers run the setup it takes a while before the setup begins
>the installation process. Is there anything I can do to create a more
>efficient setup?
>
>I have noticed when installing professional Office products that spans
>multiple cds that the install is very fast.
>
>Should I be using a 3rd party tool like install shield?
>
>Appreciate any advice or thought on this.
