makecab with higher compression

[Clint]

When using makecab I will not get as high compression as in installationfiles on CD....is there any switches that will make them compressed at a higher rate?

Here are the switches i use:

MAKECAB /D CompressionType=LZX /D CompressionMemory=21 filename.ext

Nice, shaved of a big chunk for me

EDIT: I just had a go at an installed with a modified shell32.dll that had been compressed with those switches...and got me an BSOD "page fault in nonpaged area"

caused by setupdd.sys.

If I use that regular makecab without switches it installs just fine...

Is this compression supported at install ?
