Setup executable size

Hi,

I've looking into moving from wise to InstallAware.
The problem is that the executable I get is more than twice the size of the executable I had in wise.... (1.6M instead of 700 k)

Maybe I'm not zipping it?

Thanks,
Boaz

What type of build are you creating? A single compressed exe?

You can set the compression rate in Project Settings->Build->Compression. But, this should be max by default.

If you are including application runtimes that perhaps weren't included in your Wise installer, this could add some bloat in exchange for convenience.

You may also want to look at the help topic (F1) "Compress Better".
