self contained .exe triples install size

[sparkyflint]

I am testing a self contained .exe that is +/- 570mb when compressed and complete.

the install from this creates a 3gig install (should be 620mb w/out compression). on investigation it has tripled the locations of the content from the program (it's multimedia heavy).

Thoughts?

Help?

thanks

The problem is that you are installing a folder in the form:

Code: Select all

Install Files Folder1\\Folder2\\*.* to $TARGETDIR$, include subfolders


and also you are installing another subfolder in the following way:

Code: Select all

Install Files Folder1\\Folder2\\Folder3\\*.* to $TARGETDIR$\\Folder3, include subfolders

That is causing files in subfolder Folder1\\Folder2\\Folder3 being included more than once.
