compact a file

[jorgeabreu]

Hello! i made a project with sf50, where i use a database (.mdb) file with 25 MB. my question is how can i compress this file, to copy to the HD, and then extract it again on hard disk. is it possible?

Re: compact a file

Hi,
I'm slightly confused; do you want to compress the actual SETUP.EXE file? If so I am not sure why you would want to do this. It is possible to compress the SETUP.EXE file, but since there is already compression performed on the EXE you will get a rather poor compression rate, meaning that the file will not get much smaller.
Perhaps is you explain what you want to do, and why, in more detail I will be able to offer you a solution.
