This same project using the VB5 setup wizard installs in 30 seconds.  It
flys by the files with no problem.  Now that Ive moved to Visual Basic 6 the
installation goes very slowly.  The CAB file that is created is about 10
megs with 100 files in it.  Most of them are files that are added to the
project manually which are needed.  Interestingly it seems to go a little
faster once it hits the files that the SETUP actually detected as part of
the project.

I've looked at the source for the VB6 setup wizard and there doesn't seem to
be anything out of the ordinary happening.

Does anybody have any info about this?
I will try to check back but would appreciate an email as well.

Many Thanks,
Mike Kinasz

Well.... I was messing with it this morning and decided to pick the option
to make Several CABs.  I picked 720k as the largest size.  I then end up
with a SETUP.LST, SETUP.EXE and 14 different CAB files for the project.  The
setup process was MUCH faster on the destination machine.

I hope this helps someone else
Mike
