Yeah. What virtualisation software are you using? I hear, though I
have not tested anything, that using SATA rather than IDE for your
virtual harddisks gives slightly better performance in virtualbox.

It was this ticket:
http://winsparkle.org/ticket/4

Seems to have been fixed, but version 0.3 has not yet been released.
There is nothing wrong with us using winsparkle from their repository,

release repos. It contains (along with a lot of other stuff) the
innosetup file.
