InstallAware

Hi,

I have a project with a lot of data files which when built with the first level of compression was resulting in a EXE file of 987 MB.

I then did a build with output of MSI and it created a MSI file of about 1.5 GB.

Now when I have gone back to building only the exe file.... I am getting an EXE file of 1.5 GB.

NOTHING else in the project has changed. Just the change in what I wanted to build.

Does anyhow have any idea of what might be going on here? I even restored the project from a backup which was before I did the MSI compile but even with that... I am still creating 1.5 GB sized .EXE files.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

George

Dear George,

the size of the generated setup package directly depends on the files included by your project ... so probably, you are now using a different image of your source files which is bigger of the one you used previously. For sure this has nothing to do with IA.

Regards

Thanks...

You of course correct. I had created a .zip backup file and left it in a folder that gets installed. That zip was .5 GB.

Doh!
