Rob, I can work on getting perf data, let me get back to you... Thanks for the ideas (digital signing & splash screen), I will look into those... In regards to my original question, is there no way to put some of the components into a separate dll?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Bundle Installer size issue If your executable is signed then Windows will verify the signature before launching the executable. For very large executables, that can take some time. It's not a very great user experience. 300MB is about the breaking point for user experience, especially if launched over network. PS: if you have perf numbers showing the engine taking a while to load the BA, I'd love to see them. That is a sensitive perf area we can try to improve with data.
