But please start the download file with parameter /HELP=ON and you can see a help dialog with supported parameter of nsis.

Basically it is LGPL (2.1 or later). There's a restriction upon unRAR's code, but I am not sure that even applies since we're talking about 7-Zip compression. - 7-Zip provides dialogues for such actions, however, it seems (to me) they are not localisable and not scriptable either (after all it's a compression tool, not a tool for making installers like NSIS).

Your size calculations are really promising. Is there a gui offered by 7-zip? For example to determine the unpack path. Is it an open source tool, that we are allowed to include into the build environment? If yes for both, we should think about it in OOo 3.1 timeframe. At the moment the process exists for NSIS and there are no resources to change this. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The cabinet files are created according to the information in the msi database using the Windows Installer tool makecab.exe. In the ddf file we write: CompressionType = LZX CompressionLevel = 2 As far as I remember, only LZX and ZIP are supported compression types by Windows Installer. Increasing the CompressionLevel leads to a very long packaging time by only very little smaller cabinet files. So we cannot simply change the packaging format. Or do you have additional information? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

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.

Okay, now this works as following: 1. After installation Installer currently leaves the installation files on the desktop, open this folder. 2. Now extract all the contents from the .cab files. (This works easily via the context menu with the software I use, Iz-Arc.) 3. Recompress the extracted folders using 7-Zip (as .7z, using Ultra setting). The new compressed file has a size of about 81 MB, compare that to the 114 MB of the standard installer! While an installer based on this might not help reduce server load on your side, it will certainly help find more beta / RC testers, as well as make Openoffice.org look somewhat more lightweight. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
