While not the only reason for slow installations, I have found that many programs with slow installs load extensive libraries (whether required or not), many of which require extensive registry changes.

A program that requires 30 minutes to load from disk (with viral software disabled) is indicative to me of a bloated program--registry changes or not. It is just a development environment, after all.

I do not recall the install time for RobotC, but I belive that it was less than 5 minutes.
