Software Deployment

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone could tell me what the time consuming step of 'Calling SRSetRestorePoint API' is/does/means. It's included in this snippet, but can provide the full log if needed for more information.

I know it creates a system restore point, but I'm just wondering why its taking so long on Win 7 (seems to be the case in our testing). The installs were created with Wise Installation Studio so I'm wondering if it could be the way the order for a system restore point is being called. ??

I guess what it comes down to is... Is this an install thing or a system thing? ...
