 | Hi
In a very simple script I made a trivial change to the AppVerName field, deleting the last 3 characters. Up to then it has always compiled a file 1.8 MB big, on compression 1, now it's 3.2 MB. Also changing to compression 9 has far less effect than it used to. The sources files haven't changed at all, and of course replacing the deleted characters doesn't fix it!.
Any ideas please? It's V 4.2.7 Thanks Nigel

I would check your source files again... Definitely no way a change to AppVerName would increase your setup size by 1MB+.

If changing the AppVerName back to exactly what it was before doesn't fix it, then it's fairly obvious that you've changed something else.
Either you're including more files than you used to (or significantly larger files), or you've done something to your script that makes Inno no longer recognise the compression settings (perhaps by inserting a new section into the wrong place).
Post your entire [Setup] section, and someone might be able to help.
