Solid compression

Hi,

I am compressing my (not InstallBuilder) JRE for x32 & x64 Windows in one installer, however it is compressed very inefficiently -- it seems InstallBuilder does not have an idea the files are very similar (compression ratio compared to 7-zip is much worse)

The distribution folder layout is like:
x32\jre & bunch of other files
x64\jre & bunch of other files

The question is: how do I tell (hint) InstallBuilder that solid compression must be applied for x32\jre & x64\jre?

Thank You

Hi @gerix761,

How are you applying the compression? Are you referring to the installbuilder compression algorithms? Unfortunately these conditionally applied to  individual files.
