[wix-users] Software restriction policy delay

[sampat magi]

Hi All,

We have a wix bundle which has 4 MSIs within. We are observing delay of
30-40 seconds during the evaluation of software restriction policy by
windows installer, in each msi run.

MSI (s) (48:E0) [02:01:39:697]: SOFTWARE RESTRICTION POLICY: Verifying
package --> 'C:\ProgramData\Package
Cache\{E0468A1D-F197-48F8-B6AC-5102D36BBCE0}v9.0.5.411\Programmer\Programmer.msi'

This problem is happening on windows 10 machines. Is there any specific
reason why windows installer is taking this much time during evaluation of
SRP ?

we do not see this delay on windows 7.
