电子窗安装程序太慢

Question

我正在使用电子窗口安装程序： https : //github.com/electron/windows-installer，并且在Windows上运行安装程序时，确实需要很长时间（超过10分钟），这是否正常？

@danibuiza I have found that electron applications that include native modules (ones which require that you compile them with electron-rebuild .rebuild) take exceedingly long amounts of time to install, as compared with other apps. This has less to do with the installer and more to do with the packaging of application. Since you can't package native modules into the electron blob app.asar (you must list your native packages in the unpackDir option of the asar configuration when doing the electron-packager), this means the entire tree structure of such packages must be used and installed as a collection of files. This is often a large additional number of files in the electron application, as opposed to them all being compressed into the asar along with all other application components.

In any case, its important to have your electron-packager option settings be as optimized as possible so that your installer will later have the most concise collection of assets as possible. In my opinion, this means properly using the asar and prune options when using electron-packager .

Hopefully those suggestions will help with your resultant overall install time.
