Hi, First of, let me try to explain what I am trying to accomplish. Our application uses a very big library that needs to be installed. This is a third party library and doesn't get updated a lot. I want to speed up the build of our installer by somehow prepackaging the library once.
I already decreased build time by moving all the files into a seperate cab file. Thanks to the smart cabbing feature we won some time with this. I already tried doing this with a merge module and a binary wixlib, but this slowed the build down, because all the files get unpacked and then repacked. Is there someway to avoid the repacking? It would speed up the build with a big factor if the cab file that is stored in the binary wixlib is just imported as a stream into the msi directly. Any ideas of how to accomplish the wanted speedup? - Kim PS: the cab file for the library is 140MB on high compression. -- *Kim Gybels Software Developer * kim.gyb...@metris.com <mailto:kim.gyb...@metris.com> Tel: +32 16 74 01 01 Fax: +32 16 74 01 02 * Metris Europe * Interleuvenlaan 86 3001 Leuven Belgium www.metris.com <http://www.metris.com/> This message and any attachment are privileged, confidential and contain private information.
