Hi All,

I have an Exe which is of 15 mb size. It includes around 100 images (jpgs and gifs). When i make the setup through Installshield Developer 8.0, The Setup comes to 65 MB.
If i have to make an Exe excluding the images, the exe comes to 4 Mb. The other images are added in Installshield. The setup then comes to around 29 Mb.
Does anyone know as why does the setup size increases to 65 MB if i am using an 15 Mb Exe. Is there a posiblity to reduce my setup size using the 15 mb Exe.

I am choosing the compress all files option when building the Setup.

Thanks in advance.

JD.
