Compressing the cab files using 6.1 version

Wed Jan 23, 2008 10:43 am

Hi,

We are presently using 4.1.2 version. If I use 6.1 version, will it be possible for me to increaase the ability to comress the size of the cab files rather than using 4.1.2?


Regards,
Varadha.

Hi,

Please note that the CAB files are compressed by Advanced Installer (both 4.1.2 and 6.1 versions) when the "Compress CAB files for smaller size" option is selected in the "Media" page. The CABs cannot be compressed even more because they do not support it.

However, in the 6.1 version you cam use the LZMA compression for an even smaller installation package (this option is available only in an Enterprise project). You can read more about this here:
