When I build the installer on my laptop, I often run with no compression to get an installer as quickly as possible. Sometimes I forget to reset this when I commit changes to our build server. I've looked around to see if I could spot a compiler (probably) variable that defines the compression level, but I can't find one.
If there is one, it would be useful to avoid the memory problems caused by my ageing brain.
This is IA17

Is there a variable to control the level of compression?

Re: Is there a variable to control the level of compression?
Dear John,
unfortunately, it doesn't exist a pre-defined compiler variable to set the compression level ... in reality, it is not possible (... if even unsafe) to have such type of compiler variable.
Alternatively, you can specify the compression level parameter with the MIABUILD tool (command line build tool).

How can I set the compression level (slider) via miabuild command line?
There is no info in the help file or with miabuild.exe /?

Sorry
, I have mistakenly reported the possibility to set the compression via miabuild.
This is not correct and not possible.
