Reduce time to build setup project and size of .msi

I have noticed that since we started working with Crystal 2008 (previously we used version 8.5), the merge module added to the Visual Studio 2005 setup project seems to cause the build process to take much longer than before (nearly 10 minutes), and the resulting .msi has ballooned from a few megs into around 54MB.
I think that this is because it is included language support for all languages, even though the only language we need is English.  I might be misunderstanding the cause - this is just my best guess.
Does anyone know if there is a way to reduce the amount of time to build, and reduce the size of the .msi?
Thank you for any help.. shannon

Thank you for the response..
My Visual Studio 2005 solution is configured to not build the setup project automatically.  I only build it manually when I need to do a test deployment on the development server.  As I am approaching the end of the development cycle, I am having to deploy to the dev server pretty frequently - this is why the long build process is becoming more of a problem for me.  It is making the testing process very cumbersome.
To be honest, the size of the .msi file doesn't cause any problem for me, but I am guessing that if there were a way to reduce the size, it would also reduce the time, since it seems to take a long time to pack everything into that .msi during the setup project build.

  • How to remove the time slider from my project and keep only buttons

    How to remove the time slider from my project and keep only buttons to interact with my project .

    If I understand you correctly, go to the skin editor (Project, Skin Editor in Captivate 4), select the Playback Control tab, uncheck the Progressbar check box.  Leave checked the buttons for play/pause, rewind, forward, back, etc.
    I hope this helps.

  • Encore rerenders Assets every time I Build the project...

    Hello,
    I am working on a project where I have multiple motion menus and chapter selection menus.  When I work on a project, I inevitably have to Build the project then play the result in PowerDVD to test for errors.  I usually have to Build the project multiple times over the course of troubleshooting the disc.  That is usually not a problem.
    The problem is that, for some reason, every time I press "Build", Encore will rerender the menus.  This takes literally hours to complete.  So once it is completed and I test it, I might find a problem with a subtitle.  Then I change that subtitle slightly, and rebuild.  Instead of going right to compiling the project into a folder, it starts rendering the assets again taking hours.
    I have no idea why it is doing this.  Once the menus are rendered, I want to be able to change other aspects of the project and Build the project again without this long delay.  It is usually the Chapter selection menus which are taking so long to render each time.  I have motion previews of the main movie on the three chapter selection menus I have.  I am NOT changing the chapter points in any way, yet they keep rerendering each time I build.
    Can anyone help me?

    48.0 Khz - 32-bit Floating Point audio format
    Square pixel asoect
    This is what comes up in FCP.
    If I just view the clip in a player it says:

    AAC 2 channels 48000 hz
    29.97
    When I put it in the timeline with the preset HDV-720p30 it render the picture and the audio beeps which I have to render.
    Any suggestions would be great.
    Thanks,

    What you need to do is convert that to an editing format. ProRes for example. And yes, the file sizes will get much larger. You use Compressor for this...Advanced Format Conversions.

  • Weblogic workshop 10gR3 - Very slow in building projects and throwing error

    Hi All. I am working in a portal project with weblogic 10gR3. I am using 4GB RAM machine with Windows XP and Intel Core2 T5600 processor. Whenever I build my set of projects, workshop takes very long time to build the project and at end of it throws "There was an error running some portal verification, not all validation complete". Please let me know anyone else faced the same issue.
    Things tried out by me:
    1. new domain
    2. workshop restart
    3. closing all applications other than workshop to allow more memory space for build process
    but nothing helped me on it. Please let me know if someone aware of the fix.
    regards.
    Nanda
    Edited by: Nanda on Jan 27, 2011 2:37 PM

    Hi Nanda -
    Are there any exceptions in the Error Log view in Eclipse, or in the <workspace>/.metadata/.log file that seem relevant? Also, which version of 10gR3 is this -- 10.3.0 or 10.3.2? You can check via the Help | About... item -- if it says it's Eclipse 3.5.0, then it's WLP 10.3.2; WLP 10.3.0 will say it's Oracle Workshop for WebLogic 10.3.
    How many projects do you have? What types are they? How many artifacts in each (e.g. .portlets, .portal, pageflows, ejbs, etc.)?
    You can also turn off Portal verification for now. Go to Window | Preferences | Validation, then uncheck the WebLogic Portal Validator and WebLogic Portal XML Validator boxes and hit Ok. You won't get warnings in the Problems view about .portals and .portlets, but you can see if it's part of the problem. Another general thing that pops up around performance is interaction with an underlying virus scanner -- if possible, try making sure your real-time virus scanner is skipping your project folders and your BEA_HOME.

  • Setup Project installs but does not become active

    Hello all,
    My task for my work was to transfer over a macro that I made that would process and delete incoming emails to a specified mailbox in Outlook into a Visual Studio project. This is required because we want to be able to give out the code to clients, which
    is quite cumbersome with a macro. I want to be able to use Visual Studio's Setup and Deployment to create an installer for the Add In.
    I have spent hours trying to figure out how to get the installer to work. From everything that I have read and all of the youtube videos that I've watched, I just cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm missing.
    My problem is that when I build the setup project and move it over to a machine I want to install it on, it installs just fine. I even check the windows event logs and it displays no errors, stating the installation was successful. The files are even placed
    where I wanted them to be. But when I open Outlook expecting the add in to run, it's not there. Not under active, disabled, or otherwise. When I debug the project, it runs just fine and Outlook has the add in as active. Thus, I even tried moving over the literal
    vsto file with the installer (because that was the file location shown in Outlook during debug), and still the installer runs successfully but it doesn't affect Outlook. When I double click the vsto file though, poof, Outlook has the add in. But that doesn't
    appear to be the setup doing anything, I'm just installing the add in from the VSTO directly, I believe.
    Apparently I cannot add images to the body text, which might have made this easier.
    I'm creating my project (Outlook add in) and copying my macro code over. When I debug the project, it's shown as an active add in and works fine. I then add the setup and deployment project (Visual Studio Installer -> Setup Project). From the videos that
    I've watched, I haven't noticed anyone do anything more than add the Primary Output and then alter the Deployment Project Properties (company name and etc.).
    As I said previously, running the debug does just fine at causing the add in to be active and seen by Outlook, but no such similar thing appears when I run the setup installer on the other machine. Nor when I run the installer on the same machine as I was
    running the debug.
    I'm at a complete loss as to what I need to do to fix this and would appreciate any help you can give me.

    Hi Brady Schwandt,
    >>I want to be able to use Visual Studio's Setup and Deployment to create an installer for the Add In.
    Which VS version did you use? So you use the InstallShield LE, am I right?
    I found some blogs which shared some information about it here:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/emeamsgdev/archive/2013/11/21/outlook-deploying-an-outlook-2013-add-in-using-installshield-le.aspx

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mcsuksoldev/archive/2010/10/01/building-and-deploying-an-outlook-2010-add-in-part-2-of-2.aspx
    As you said that the project has no any issue, so the real issue is related to "how to create the setup project with InstallShield LE for outlook add-in".
    You know that actually we didn't support the InstallShield LE, it has his own third party supported site now, if above blogs no help, I suggest you post this issue to this site:

    Thank you Ross.
    The entire DVD containing Quick Time movies (Final CutExpress project) and slideshow was done in iPhoto.  The Final Cut project was rendered prior to export to QT,  the slideshow was sent to iDVD withoutrendering. The slideshow with most of the pictures from my still camera incombination with stills from movie clips and some downloaded from the Internet.After burning, the movie playback is perfect but the slideshow is not.  The slideshow containing 3 differentkinds of pictures; those from my still camera looks OK; the stills from themovie clips and from the Internet are not.  I don’t have much knowledge in this game, but I think NTSCwith frame size 720x480, and the downloaded picture Item Property shows most ofthem are between 400 to 500 x 300 to 600, may be both of them are not suitablefor TV screen while the stills from my still camera looks OK because they are2048x1536.  Please enlightenme.  Once again, thank you so much,I really appreciate the time you offered.

  • Imovie crashes - States that its "Building a Project"?

    I recently had problems with imovie crashing stating that it had "encountered a problem and quit unexpectedly".  So after doing some research I deleted the Imovie plist files off of my library.  It seemed to work for awhile, but now when I try to use imovie - a caption comes up stating that its "Building a project"  and imovie freezes up.  I'm not evening starting a new project so IDK why it would state that I am. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    With 4 +1 other members who recognise this issue, some sort of reply would be interesting.
    My new 2012 27' fusion, 24G ram, 680MX is having big problems with iMovie. Switching between Projects takes minutes, which totally interupts the process of filing clips. Deleting clips from event browser is slower than comfortable.

  • Reducing project file size

    I've got a project that I'm working on. It's 7 tracks of audio and just under 4 minutes long. But the project file size is over 2 gigs! I ran the "Clean Up" option from the project management option under file. That only took it from 2.3 gigs to 2.1.
    Why is it so large and what can I do to reduce the project file size? 2.1 gigs seems way too large for what it is.

    Don't know if you found a solution but I did. Here's what you do:
    im my case I save a lot. Like, I save after every operation. This causes Logic to keep lots of saved audio files in the project that I've overwritten a dozen times already.  I might perform 20 takes of a passage in a song I have.  Logic will keep all 20 takes even though I've deleted the audio file in the editor window.  This causes my 3 min song to bloat out to 2-3GB in size.
    When I'm reasonably sure I like the condition of my song and it's structure I will then do the following:
    Save a new version of the project. Then open "window - project audio". This opens the project audio window.  In this window I select "edit - select unused audio". This highlights all the audio files that have been deleted/overwritten by myself during my recording and editing. I then hit the Delete key. I believe Logic then confirms the delete command and deletes the unused audio. I close the window and save a new copy of the project. Now my file size is a sane number (450mb for example) rather than the 2.5GB it was before. Of course doing this I've eliminated the ability to "undo" any audio editing/deleting but I've already confirmed that fact.
    Hope this helps you out. It helped reduce a 6 min project that was 5.7GB back to a sane number of 890mb. I guess you can say I do a lot of, umm, takes  

  • Project Bloating and Repair in Premiere Pro CS6; Max Project File Size? Adobe Coders Welcome...

    Greetings.
    After a few browsing sessions, I haven't found direction for a specific problem within a project bloat. First and foremost; we're always backed up. I have a restoration copy of the project that I will reference herein. Check that off the list.
    Numerous people have posted here and around Creative Cow with problems regarding an expanding file size using CS6; watching files go from 300mb to 2.8gb. The unfortunate problem is when the project crosses a magical line that results in an inablity to open, import, export, or access sequences contained therein. Has anyone addressed a solution to repairing Premiere CS6 save files? Reducing file bloat? I haven't seen anything (recall the FCP7 repair days... solutions existed because problems were frequent; thankfully not so bad with Adobe).
    Does anyone inside the code size know the maximum project file size that Premiere can read? I created a monster... Over 200 sequences utilizing 4.5TB of footage, stretching from Red codecs to EXCam to MPEG4 and H264. And for some time, the project size was manageable. Then, it inflated. And one day, randomly stopped opening. None of the auto-saves open.
    Just curious. Files aren't the problem, but the 2.8GB save file is. Machine specs // etc. are openly available if required; no bad ram, no problems with all projects (just this one beast).
    Cheers,
    Jon Michael Ryan

  • Can someone take a look at my project and give me ideas to reduce lag/optimize it? (relatively new to flash and need help)

    Dropbox - TV_AL_Q
    I really need to reduce the lag happening in this project. I know practically nothing about action script except for what I've used in this project so please keep that in mind.
    Im going to try and break apart the grouped art so its in its most basic form and see if that helps, and also change all my tweens to frame by frame since those two things helped me with an animation I did awhile back that was lagging severely.
    But I was hoping someone with more knowledge could take a look and see if there is anything that they know of that I could do to help fix this. I'm working in Flash cs6 and using action script 3.
    I have to turn this project in by this Friday (the 20th) so I would love to get this sorted by then but even if I can't I would still be interested in some possible solutions, just for learnings sake.
    Thanks.
