Been asked before (many many times, see nabble or mail-archive.com). Unless Windows Installer supports it, it's unlikely for WiX to support it. In this case you're limited by the Cabinet API if you want to ship purely MSI's. Cabinets are either LZX or MSZIP algorithm compression.
If you want to implement something like LZMA yourself then you can do something like specifying no compression in your Media Elements & then compress the resulting MSI & CABs using a self-extractor. Burn & other bootstrappers may support something like that but WiX itself doesn't/can't.

Subject: [WiX-users] Using LZMA instead of default compression Hi I've been using MakeMSI for a while now, and it's great that it uses LZMA [through http://upx.sourceforge.net/], as it offers an excellent compressions ratio with a fast decompression. Can the same be done with WiX? - If so, how? Please tell me if this can be done Thank you, Alec Taylor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: WikiLeaks The End of the Free Internet http://p.sf.net/sfu/therealnews-com _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: WikiLeaks The End of the Free Internet http://p.sf.net/sfu/therealnews-com _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
