I got tired of waiting for the installer build to complete, so I've had a quick try at speeding it up.
Instead of wix having to handle over 28,000 files, I made the build use 7zip to put most of the files into a single archive - I'm now able to make a test build in less than a minute - also able to make an installer half the normal size (takes a little longer). This isn't quite ready for production - the installer opens a console window and it doesn't fully uninstall.
@javihernandez, do you think it's worth making it work for releases?
