Duplication of files in the installer = big installer

[jizzleb]

Hi everyone!

I wonder if any of you have experianced a problem before were you have a large file needed in multiple locations in the installer.

I would expect the installaware application to compress and include it just once, but instead it seems to compress it multiple times.

E.g. we have a 60mb dll file that we use in three different places, it makes the installer about 180mb!

Cheers

You could include the file only a single time in the installer, then copy it to the other places you want it with the Copy/Move Files or Call DLL Function (kernel32.dll, CopyFileA) commands.
