If you create an MSI file during the capture process, ThinApp adds the MSICompressionType parameter to the
Package.ini file and sets the initial value of Fast to compress the file. Decompression occurs at the time of
installation.
You do not have to set the MSICompressionType parameter to Fast when you set the CompressionType
parameter to Fast. Setting both parameters does not increase the amount of compression.
Example: Preventing MSI File Compression
If you are working with large builds and performance is not a priority, you can modify the
MSICompressionType parameter to prevent MSI file compression.
