Re: InstallAware: Is it going to stay?

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.

Doesn't Thoma Cressey Bravo own a Install something company? If so, CG should use that InstallSomething product. Anything is better than super-slow InstallAware.
I could never understand why CG did not use the excellent, free and *Made with Delphi* Inno Setup.
