Extremely long startup time

Question

We are developing a software suite called Omnitapps in Adobe AIR (sdk 4.5.1 build as 2.6) in FDT 4.5

As we have talked about our corrupted/damaged installers in another post of ours, we also have another issue caused by the amount of content that gets installed.

Firstly the Installer takes extremely long to startup (show installation popup) depending on the systems performance/processes running this can vary from 1 - 5 minutes.

Secondly, after installation has been completed, it takes about the same amount of time for the application to start because of the amount of content installed in the program files folder.

At the moment we solved it by moving all unnecessary files to the My Documents folder on first startup, this speeds up the startup from our software to only a few seconds compared to a few minutes. However its odd that Adobe AIR tries to load every file included in the installer before continuing.

Is this normal?

For the long installation, by any chance is your app a native app? (.exe or .dmg instead of .air) If it's a native app and AIR runtime is not installed currently, an attempt to download the latest AIR runtime will occur during installation.
