For users of Windows 10 who experience problems of slow loading setup, thanks for the information KaktoR :

Rename extension to arc or something else or move all cab files to a folder like cabs or something else. windows 10 scans the first cab file constantly when they are in the same folder as Setup.exe.

thank you omdj

the setup have problem with windows 10...it's very very slowly

Sweet looking installer, nice graphics. Save me having to do one.
thanks again for posting it :)

the compression method to choose is:
Compression method: srep + exe + exe2 + delta + lzma?
thanks

Well I think that is the compression method, I use it atm... We will see how long it will takes... will report if it worked or not

Anyway, thanks for this nice tutorial :)

What you mean? Open Setup.exe?

yes

Works fine for me (3 Dvds) :) Thanks <3

I just discovered that changing the .cab extension to .bin , setup no longer takes to load (Windows 10).

In UltraARC.ini edit this line before compressing:

[Distribution]
ArchivePrefixName=Data
ArchiveExtension=cab

to:

ArchiveExtension=bin

with setup.exe and .cab; dou you test the load without Ultraarc in windows 10

as is tested without Ultraarc?

the reason is very slow windows 10 window defender is constantly scanning that exe.disable that excuse for a antivirus.and see the difference.

Also install Ms Visual C++ 2008 2010 2012 also Ms Dotnet 4.

It is not better to change the file extension to .bin to avoid disable defender ?, there is a disadvantage in the .bin extension ?

rename extension to arc or something else or move all cab files to a folder like cabs or something else. windows 10 scans the first cab file constantly when they are in the same folder as Setup.exe.

@omdj: maybe you can add info regarding win10 and cab extension to OP so users can see this for sure.
