Does anybody know any programs for creating installation programs that also compress the files (ZIP)?

Ie: a way to make a small installer file? I need to turn 11mb into a 3mb installer.

Appreciated,
Drew Cameron

The search button is your friend. I found several related links about install programs in this board.

BTW, 11 to 3 megs compression is totally dependent on what you want to compress. If you're compressing already compressed files like JPGs and PNGs, good luck.

I don't like insstallers, especially for small programms, I never know were it gets its claws, so I prefer a simply zip file that you have to unpack (and then play)

Innosetup using 7zip compression will give you the best compression and an installer all wrapped up into one. 7zip outperforms rar on most archives.


Which is the biggest tool? The computer, or the muppet who invented it?
