LZMA Compression removes .exe resource

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue where one of the .exe files in my installer resources disappears when using LZMA compression. Interestingly, when I switch to CAB files, the .exe file is transferred correctly. I have tested both LZMA and LZMA2 compression and with various levels of compression, but the issue persists with the same result each time.

My installer includes five different .exe files, but only one of them is affected and disappears when using LZMA compression. Do you have any insights into why this might be happening?

Thanks,
Rafael

Re: LZMA Compression removes .exe resource

Hello Rafael,

Not quite sure I fully understand your scenario here - are you saying that one of your executables is not included in the final package when you select LZMA compression?

Are you able to consistently reproduce this with said EXE (e.g. if you add it to a new project, are you still able to reproduce this)? If so, could you please share the EXE with me, via email at support at advancedinstaller dot com so I can run some tests on my end as well?

Best regards,
Catalin
