>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.

Since JPGs are compressed files already, you might not want to have InstallShield trying to compress them again. That usually makes files larger if they're already compressed.
