Hello all,

Here is my problem. Someone created an installation program using Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW). So all the files resulted were:
setup.exe, archive.cab, setup.lst, ... (one or two files not so important).
he told me that every time he had to make another build, just recreated the archive.cab using PowerArchiver and that's all.

I did the same, but, ..., setup is going 10 time slower. I don't know why. I used all types of compresion, even the very low form. Same result.
I even used another tool, cabarc.exe (command line tool).

Can someone tell me where is the problem. I have VB6, but I don't know which vb version my friend used the first time.

Thank you all for help.

Instead of using the Package and Deployment Wizard, I use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer. It is free from Microsoft, and it includes the runtimes for Visual Basic so you don't have to install them manually. It is very easy to use and update your project.
