RE: Deployment Time

Does it install successfully after the 22mins?  Obviously it should take a
lot less than that to install.  One thing that might extend the deployment
time is the installation of the loopback adapter (or rather, the
configuration of the newly installed loopback adapter).

Can you make an MSI install log available for us to have a look?  The
default logging parameters (i.e. logging options 'iweap') should be enough
to narrow the problem down, but it would be preferable to have a full log
(i.e. logging options 'voicewarmup').  A full log would include the action
specific records that could further pinpoint the problem.

See,

and
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314852
for information on how to enable logging.

Also, what options did you change with your transform?

Since the full log would be large, you can send it directly to me instead of
the list.

So far I haven't run into this problem in the deployments that I did.
