------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Apr 14 16:09:44 +0000 2008 ------- What I found out is this: there is only archiving format which is supported by MSIs: CAB. CABs can be either compressed (using "MsZip", "LZX" or "Quantum") or uncompressed. However, here comes the good news: #1: Oo.o installation files uncompressed -- 330 MB #2: Standard installer -- 114 MB #3: .7z archive, Ultra setting, containing no .cabs / just folders -- 81.3 MB (this is what I was originally referring to) #4: .7z archive, Ultra setting, containing uncompressed cabs -- 85.9 MB (the most viable solution from my point of view) #5: .7z archive, Normal setting, containing uncompressed cabs -- 95.8 MB * Ultra setting: time to compress: 7:30 min., time to decompress: 0:30 min., RAM required for decompression: 9 MB * Normal setting: time to compress: 5:00 min., time to decompress: 0:29 min., RAM required for decompression: 34 MB (Times taken on a Notebook with 1.7MHz-single-core processor; RAM requirements as displayed by 7-Zip.) As you can see, #4's compression is almost as good as as #3's, only that it should fit your build process better. 7-Zip contains a feature to create SFX archives, so it should also be possible to eliminate the NSIS installer that today contains the MSI installer. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
