How to make installer to use external archieve ?

I do not want to wait while compiler compress all the data included in the installer whilt testing installer. I want the data to be compressed only once. Thus how can I put the data into separate archieve ( I prefer 7z ) and then read the data from it during install ?

what I do to test installers is comment the lines where data is added. Instead of "File 1\*.*" I use ";File 1\*.*"

n0On3,good trick , but I still wonder if anyone knows how to add 7z extraction ability to the installer ?
