Try CompressionLevel="high" as it's better than "mszip" in my experience.
Also your MSI itself will be a significant part of that 4.5 depending on it's complexity. Build with EmbedCab="no" to see what size it is itself.

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 <Media Id="1" Cabinet="CAB" EmbedCab="yes" CompressionLevel="mszip"/> Mszip should be default anyway. What should I do so the msi is about 1mb?
