Creating small setups to deploy dll?

Question

Hi, I've been using Inno Setup for deploying and registering a dll, but all the setups generated with InnoSetup have a min size of 500kb while my dll is only like 40kb. I don't want to use a packer such as UPX because I don't like the way they work. Is there another free app to create smaller setups for deploying dlls?

Answer 1

Try Nullsoft Installer. Its list of features claims to create only 34KB overhead.

You can also write some WiX scripts to minimize the features included in your installer and bring down its size, while still using the MSI engine. (As a side note, you can also use the ClickThrough to have your dll automatically update)
