![]() ![]() We're using InstallBuilder 8.5.0, and we already have or ' showFileUnpackingProgress or ' set to 0. This doesn't affect Windows or Linux, but our Mac installer is considerably larger due to extra dependencies we need to ship. We have tested it on other systems running 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8, and it works fine. It only seems to affect a smaller portion of our user base, and the particular system we've been able to reproduce it on is running OSX 10.8.3. We've noticed an occasional problem with performance on Mac OSX as well. The How can I hide the unzip progress during install? question shows how to hide progress of unzipping the files as well - that may also speed up the unzip process. If the installer size was to exceed 2GB, you can switch to CDROM mode documented in CDROM Installers section of our documentation and especially in Distributing big installers in other media formats section. Can you also try to package those files that were originally inside ZIP archives as part of the installer and see if it is making any difference, especially with disabled? Regarding the action, it is meant more as a helper action and may be slower than dedicated ZIP tools. One of the reasons for longer time to install may be the GUI updates that show each file name.Ĭould you check if disabling indicating the unpacking progress speed up the installer?Īlso, can you compare the time by running the installer in unattended mode - for example:Ĭ> start /wait installer.exe -mode unattendedĪnd measuring the time it takes to run it without GUI? That should help understand where the difference in installation time is coming from. Also I'm using InstallBuilder for Qt 8.5.Īny suggestion I can use to improve the installation time? The installBuilder unzips them in 19 minutes, while a standalone unzip tool unzips them only in 6 minutes.īTW, the installer is created unsing ' zip' compression method. I have about 20 zip files in total 8.59GB, 13655 files, 47 folders. I understand it can be slower than a zip tool, but shouldn't be that slow.Īlso the ' unzip' action provided in the InstallBuilder is much slower than an ' unzip' tool. ![]() The installer created for 3.12GB, 54176 files, 11051 folders takes 19 minutes, while 7z only takes 6 min. The installation is much slower than a 7z unzip. ![]() We had our existing installer, installs the same set of files in 28 minutes. The total installation time is over 80 minutes. The total installation size (after installed) is 17.9GB, with 165529 files, 18763 folders. I have a main installer about 1.74GB in size, which also calls some sub-installers and unzips some big zip files. (The data below are collected on Windows platform) I notice the installer created by InstallBuilder installs really slowly for large software especially on Windows platform. ![]()
