If I execute nb installer it shows an progress dialog, ask me for JDK and after I select the JDK file chooser and progress dialog disappear and nothing is displayed for about 10 seconds.
Not clear what do you mean: After JDK Selection panel [1] there is Preview panel [2] with info what and where will be installed. And AFTER that there is Installation progress panel [3]. BTW on Linux there is no big delay between [1] and [2] or [2] and [3].
I saw it: It is delay between start of installer and displaying Welcome panel. Unfortunately it is InstallShield problem.
For new installer startup should be better or at least it is more in our control so we can display any UI like splash soon if necessary,
Please evaluate. You can add some performance measurement :).
Well, we got a better progress bar.. ;)
.
OK, if I understood it right, the InstallShield will be replaced by some other 'better' install engine. Because of I measured some times with today's build installer and on a slow machine (P3 800MHz) the gap between initializing progress dialog of InstallShield and 'Initializing wizard...' dialog takes about 30 seconds.:)
