This isn’t exactly a development question, but it does affect my productivity!

Recently, installing updates to Visual Studio 2010 or .NET 3.5.1 or 4 have taken a very long time, up to 90 minutes per update. Is there any particular reason why, i.e. are there any intensive processes being carried out as part of the update?

Could the following affect the speed?

  • Windows 7 Ultimate running within a VMware Fusion virtual machine. I am running a MacBook with a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM. The VM has 2GB RAM assigned and 2 processor cores.
  • Is the Native Image Generator (NGen) running as part of the updates? Is its performance affected by running in a VM?
