Hi,
I am using InstallShield 7 and my total file size is 26.7MB,
and size of created setup is 27.7MB.
can I reduce my setup size using InstallShield.
Or with any other version of InstallShield, can I do that.
Waiting for Reply.
Thanks

Did you select the "Compress script (.inx)" option?
To reduce the size: don't use skins (don't remeber if Proferssional 7 has skins already?). Avoid too many or large graphics, billboards etc.
However there will always be some overhead because of the runtime engine, the setup script, support files and the like.

Are you including the windows installer engine with your setup? This can add a few megabytes to your project, and it is generally not necessary (user can download from Microsoft).

Glytzhkof: roas is using InstallShield Professionl 7 so there's no MSI involved.
