List all files in an installer?

Greetings,

We've been using 7z l setup.exe to get a list of the files in the installer.
Which we've been using to compare the new vs the current installer.

However when a file is detected as duplicate it will not show up in 7z l, I'm guessing because nsis just stores metadata that it's the same file.

So is there a way to get a list of the contents of the installer?
Either from some file which is in the 7z archive which is in the setup.exe or any other means?

Thanks,
Bill

Nope, 7-zip does the best job and that's what you get. You should have your build process create that list when it create the installer. It's a more direct approach which should also be easier to implement and customize to your needes.
