Well I guess my last observation is not correct when I both delete the cabs
folder and the bin and obj folders. The property in an imported target is
used by msbuild launched on the command line to build a project (without
defining the properties using the /p switch).

I do not think that the files were different, since I did a "debug" build,
and then a "release" build as soon as the debug build was finished (without
any change to the source tree). Even though the Release build was set to
use high compression, it reused the cab file (when the path is set to a

Based on the following document (and probably other pots to the forum, long
ago) I had implemented cab reuse.

The cause of the problem detailed in this thread is that I had defined a

I did a little more research into this observation (that using -dcl:none and
-dcl:high (or low, or no switch) all produces the exact same size output
files (msi and related external cab files)). Since these experments were in
part prompted by reading Bob's blog and the dev's discussions
(http://ww
ndows Installer to get comparable results).

MSZIP is not DEFLATE (the compression algorithm used by .zip files). You
might play with the other options to see what works best.
Compression is very dependent on the input.

I have created a msi file and it seems to work fine but the compression does
not seem to work. If my included files are 3mb I end up with a 4.5mb msi.
If I zip the files I end up with 1mb.
I have the following line in my wxs file
Mszip should be default anyway.

Hello,
If I want to create a full MSI package, I can set the compression level in the
child of the element.
Can I do similar things when I am creating a merge module? The element
does not have a child...
Best regards

My install Pack is about 600 MB in size, and there is no limitation in it's
size. I'm using the MSZIP compression level, and it's ok for me. The only
concern, is the time it takes to create the MSI file.
It takes over 90 minutes after the light is commanded to build the MSI. I

Another thing to keep in mind is that file types do affect the speed of
compression. Do some testing along those lines if you have larger builds.

Dear All,
You know we have 5 compression levels:
None, High, Low, MSZIP and medium.
Is it possible to use a third party compression code, such as 7-up or rar?
And if it is possible, does it help to have faster and better compression
code, or to get building the .msi faster ?
