hi!
first thanks to all programmers for this excellent piece of software.
My little request:
- 7z compression
I can't do it by myself since the 7z programmer uses the latest SDK features and I havent it, neither the bandwidth to download...
If other people have already requested it, sorry 😉
Thanks all.
Regards.
7z !

Not only have about 10 people already requested it, it's already in progress 😉

Anyway, there is still this solution:
copy /b 7zSD.sfx + config.txt + 7Z-COMPRESSED-NSIS-INSTALLER.7z AUTO-7Z-EXTRACTIBLE-NSIS-INSTALLER.exe
contents of config.txt:
;!@Install@!UTF-8!
Title="MyProgram"
RunProgram="NSIS-NONCOMPRESSEDINSTALLER.exe"
;!@InstallEnd@!
you've just to put this in your nsi file before:
SetCompress off
The installer will be extracted silently and then launched.
Works perfectly: 540 KB for the NSIS system installer instead of 750KB. youhou!
bye.

The SD SFX uses MSVCRT.dll, so it doesn't work on the first Windows 95 versions.
That static SFX is also quite big (about 140 Kb). With a lot of optimization, it can be about 4 times smaller.
