Smaller boostrap installers

hey there,

Is there a method or set of settings to use to get the bootstrap exe for a web installer smaller? I'm seeing 2.2-3MB with nothing in it (files are in features).

The search appears broken, so sorry if this has been answered before.

Thanks!

Dear therealx,

you may try to use a higher compression level (if not already) and/or to minimize setup resources (dialogs, bitmap files and so on).

Regards

Hi there,

I tried removing dialogs, but the file size didn't go down. The only asset is the logo right now. How small should they be able to get down to?

Thanks!

Instead the output size changes, not so much, but changes. Of course the dialog resources must be removed from project inclusion (not only from the main script file).

Anyway, I don't think the produced output can be smaller than (approximately) 2.2 mb.
