Build Type - Compressed

Postby paulga » Mon Sep 04, 2006 3:02 am

Hi,

I want to create a compressed single self-installing EXE which is simple to do. However I want one of my files included in the setup to be left uncompressed, compressing the rest. Is it possible to achieve this?

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

You can achieve this objective as follows. Leave this file out of your setup package, and then copy it using the Copy Local Files command. You can read the file from $SFXPATH$ at runtime and then do whatever you wish with it (including things other than copying it, based on your needs).
