[WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: Bundle Installer size issue

The actual engine executable is ~300 KB. You are likely attaching all your packages to the executable by leaving things Compressed='yes'. Change the Bundle/@Compressed attribute to 'no' and you'll see a far smaller executable (should be under a megabyte). That is what VS2010 does. On Wed, Jan 30

Re: [WiX-users] VersionMsi and Bundle Conditions

Burn created a version type. So if you're creating a Bundle, you use the "v" syntax. If we could fix the Windows Installer we would since we're stuck with string comparisons there (and those don't work perfectly for version numbers). On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 1:49 PM, Eric Potter wrote: > > > I us

Re: [WiX-users] Bundle Installer size issue

The burn engine drops everything into one large executable, i.e. "Setup.exe". I'm just looking for any way to make the executable smaller so its startup performance will be improved, by perhaps doing something similar to using reflection to reference a dll at runtime. -Original Message--
