The Test:

WinRAR 3.60 beta 3- http://www.rarlabs.com

KGB Archiver 1.2.0.23- http://kgbarchiver.sourceforge.net/?lang=en

The Compression Results (size in order from smallest to biggest) the Cyberface files are uncompressed to start with and in total weigh in at 100MB:

SQX 2.0 @ 39.3MB

UHARC 0.6a @ 42.2MB

KGB Archiver 1.2.0.23 @ 48.5MB

I'd like to find some sort of program that would work similar to Inno Setup, but have a smaller file size...

NSIS only has like a 60k overhead, the installer I made for hory is 137k total and it includes fifafs.exe & his readme

put this in the top of the script

SetCompressor /FINAL /SOLID lzma

using the above compresser setting gets release 109 down to 44.6 MB

if you use uharc and eazip you can get it down to 25MB
