Hi

I received my first update for Xbase 2, build 556.  Everything went ok
but... it took 25 minutes!  I didn't see antivirus or Windows update at
the same time.  My PC is an HP Z400 with an Intel Xeon 4 x 2.67ghz and
12Gb RAM.  This PC is usually fast.

It is not a bug, it is just slow! Anyone notice the same thing as me?

Hello Mr Boivin,

We have already realized that under conditions that we
can not determain, yet, the installation / update speed
differs significantly from what should be considered "normal".

We will take care on that.

Hi Jack,

If you go into the workbench and go into Help --> Update Manager and
then click on the "Installation History" tab you will see each update
build that you have applied.  If you then click on the Build that you
would like to see details in the right pane you will see a "Changes
per Feature" list.  To the left of each change you will see an arrow
which when clicked on will expand to give the specifics to to changes.

I have been told that you can also do this before actually installing
the build update but obviously this would be under the "Avaialable
Updates" tab instead of the "Installation History".

Hope this helps... Regards... Jonathan

Jonathan is perfectly right.

Additional to this, please lookup in the documentation:

Release Information -> Xbase++ -> Changelog per build

This carries the same information.

Hello Mr Boivin,

Thanks for reporting this. When talking to Xbase++ users at the
conference I would assume an avarange of 50% encountering
the problem. However, we have seen this already on our machines
and will care for it in one of the next updates.

I receive an update for Crystal Report and it took about 30 minutes to
install the 80Mb package. I discovered "SearchIndexer.exe" is doing
intensive disk usage while and AFTER the update. This update use
"MsiExec" to install, and I beleive xbase also use this. I beleive
MsiExec trigger something wrong in SearchIndexer and there is nothing
you can do about it.

I would say this is only conincidentially.

The Windows search indexer can be quite a problem - I always switch it off,
because the benefit of a faster search does not justify the load it
randomly puts on your machine.

17 minutes to install .570 on the same PC. I make sure my antivirus
(AVG) was up to date before and the only other process running was
Xananews (a little Newsreader).

Hello Mr Boivin,

We have not done any activities that would speed up the installation
process, insofar we do not expect any improvement  in this area.
The difference between 25 Minutes vs. 17 Minutes are "by chance".

I hope the update process was a smooth experience in anything other
aspect.

With my best regards,

Andreas,

For the first time my anti-virus software kicked in complaining about
asget.exe (had seen that on different other posts).
After the install I was left with a non-activated installation (perhaps
because I had an external drive attached at the time?). 
Re-activation was no problem.

I had to re-activate again after I removed the external drive.
