Compression

What is the highest compression in NSIS? I don't care about the (de)compression time, just the compression ratio.

Thanks! 😉

In most cases LZMA.

I am yet to find a case where LZMA is not the highest compression 🙂

Yeah, I've thought so too, but wanted your opinion. Thank you!

Actually I find bzip2 better for compression if your just compressing straight text files. If you need to compress binaries then LZMA always comes out on top.

But you don't make installers for text files 🙂
