Best Installer Compression |
Advanced LZMA compressionAdvanced Installer brings you one of the best compression algorithms in the industry. We have partnered with the authors of the much acclaimed 7-Zip compression utility to deliver incredible compression rates for your installers.
JAR packing with Pack200Starting with Java 5, a new packing tool for JAR files was made available. Advanced Installer helps you use Pack200 to pack the JAR files in your Java application installers. Coupled with LZMA compression, this can reduce their size to less than 20% of the original size.
Standard Windows CAB compressionUsing the standard Windows archive format has the following benefits:
A Smart Cabbing algorithm checks that files with the same source are included only once in the generated CAB file, thus ensuring a minimal installer size without needlessly wasted space. Unpacked image based installsFor software delivered on CDs or DVDs Advanced Installer can create uncompressed images which can not only be installed but also run directly from the installation media. Images can also be compressed on the fast setting for a perfect trade off between size and install speed, resulting in a Vista-like image based installer.

An installer's
packaging can vary a lot, depending on the goals it has to meet. The
installer may be required to allow running the product directly from a
CD or DVD, it may need to be as small as possible for quick online
downloads or to be a standard MSI for corporate network deployment.
Advanced Installer supports all these scenarios and
more, allowing you to select the best installer compression
for your situation.
