How to compress EXE file?
How to compress EXE file?
Dear All,
I use FWH9.07+xHb (Fivetech) 1.2.1 and UEStudio. The EXE file is 4.7 Mb. but when I compress to zip file, the size is only 1.7 Mb.
How can I compress EXE file to smaller than 4.7 Mb. as BLINKER EXECUTABLE COMPRESS in BLinker.
Best regards,
Dutch

Dutch,
I want to ask you what your reason might be to compress a EXE-file of 4.7 MB ?
Thanks.

Dear Driessen,
If the file size is smaller than, the tranfer file is more faster and load time will be reduce. The UPX is not successful, it show an error "The application failed to initialize properly (0x000005).". I try many options but it still shows the same.

I've been using upx all these times and never had any problem with it. I've been using it without specifying any options. Just a plain "upx <exe name>"

Re: How to compress EXE file?
Try Pecompact
http://www.bitsum.com/
This executable compressor can also crypt the app avoiding the code debugging.

Re: How to compress EXE file?
I confirm facing this problem in some cases and on some servers. As I had no control on the customers' server configurations, I had to quit compressing. In fact I had no clue why the compressed exes were not running on those configurations and what could be done to make them work.mgsoft wrote:I tried Pecompact and UPX and in some cases, the exe does not run.

Dear All,
In my experiences in compressing xHB+FWH apps, it is always the anti-virus preventing the .exe to decompress...
I also used diff compressor like aspack, pklite and others. But the best so far and free is upx.
If you have anti-virus, add your .exe to trusted application. Like I did and problem executing apps solved.
