I have noticed recent discussion among the devs about Compression level and
setting the level to -dcl:none for debug and -dcl:high (or some other
setting) for Release builds. I also read through as many posts about
compression as I could find in the archives and generally on Google. I have
experimented with using -dcl and also with adding CompressionLevel to the
MediaTemplate.
<MediaTemplate EmbedCab="no" CabinetTemplate="eds{0}.cab"
CompressionLevel="high" MaximumUncompressedMediaSize="100" />
I did not observe any change in the size of my msi or my external cab file
(between a debug build and a release build, or any other setting). I am
using wix 3.9.1001, on Windows 7 x64 (and also Win 8.1 x64). I use burn mba
to install my chain of downloadable mis packages. Most of the packages are
around 20mb. This works great (thanks!), but if there is a way to reduce
the size of the downloads I thought it worth investigating.
Any ideas on why I don't see any change in size when I set a higher
compression level?
Thanks for the assistance. Phill
