Today I had to do a minor modification in my D2007 installation. I ran the
setup, chose Modify and asked it to removed IntraWeb from installed
components. No kidding, it took more than two hours and still waiting for
it to finish. I just asked it to remove a single component and I had to
interrupt working for more than two hours! A similar operation could be
done in a matter of minutes or even seconds in Delphi 7.

Will there be some serious improvements to the Installer in D2009? The
current picture is far from being acceptable.
