@riverrm, true, only point was that it's in one big file...that helps with continuity and cd copy speed. I may be off with that first phase but it does copy eventually. @Araknis, that's the one. Don't know of the results...basically I'm not doing it because than you need to edit inf's and put entry to locate files in cab...not so needed to be worth breaking signature of particular inf. Upx works, but I don't use it myself since it slows things down after install and space is not what i'm after even though it may seem otherwise. I'm just interested in freeing the memory from unneeded processes, thus removing components. Msi thing read in nlite's forum and replied to.
