For users of Windows 10 who experience problems of slow loading setup, thanks for the information KaktoR :

Rename extension to arc or something else or move all cab files to a folder like cabs or something else. windows 10 scans the first cab file constantly when they are in the same folder as Setup.exe.

I just discovered that changing the .cab extension to .bin , setup no longer takes to load (Windows 10).

In UltraARC.ini edit this line before compressing:

[Distribution]
ArchivePrefixName=Data
ArchiveExtension=cab

to:

ArchiveExtension=bin

the reason is very slow windows 10 window defender is constantly scanning that exe.disable that excuse for a antivirus.and see the difference.

Also install Ms Visual C++ 2008 2010 2012 also Ms Dotnet 4.

It is not better to change the file extension to .bin to avoid disable defender ?, there is a disadvantage in the .bin extension ?

@omdj: maybe you can add info regarding win10 and cab extension to OP so users can see this for sure.
