问题
We have ".msi" installation package.
I try to uninstall it with appropriate commnd:
MsiExec.exe /x{5D719E68-C010-4DD9-A1C3-7BC1581781F0} /lv log.txt
In the log I see follow records:
MSI (s) (D4:14) [17:38:41:595]: Executing op: ShortcutRemove(Name=n80p5njq|Sample Playlist Transcoding)
MSI (s) (D4:14) [17:38:41:601]: Verifying accessibility of file: Sample Playlist Transcoding.lnk

All steps are taken acceptable interval except "ShortcutRemove".
What can I do, for increase the speed of uninstall process?
回答1:
Question: A few questions:
- If you remove the shortcuts in a test version, is the uninstall quick?
- Is the binary on some embedded device?
- Does the shortcut point to a URL, a local path, a network path or some other resource - like a mapped drive letter?
- If you do a major upgrade, is that equally slow to uninstall?
- Is the behavior different if the embedded device (if any) is connected and not in sleep or hibernation mode while you uninstall?
Need For Speed: I have some general "MSI speed improvement suggestions" here in this old answer from serverfault.com: How can I speed up MSI package install and uninstall?
I would try the MSIFASTINSTALL property and set it to either 3 or 7.
Debug Logging (Verbose): You can sometimes get better information by using a debugging logging option. Here is a command line to use advanced, slow logging for maximum details captured:
msiexec.exe /i C:\Path\Your.msi /L*vx! C:\Path\Your.log
Logging Links: Here is more information and links on MSI logging: Enable installation logs for MSI installer without any command line arguments - this also contains a parameter explanation section for the command line used above. Please check it out. Also check the section "Interpreting MSI Log Files".
