the latest nsis releases contain a new additional compression mechanism: Lzma
Lzma's compression is stronger than bzip2's which is used by nsis by default. There is a big impact on ethereal's nsis installer's size.
Lzma reduces the size from about 13.5 MB to 9.3 MB .
Attached patch activates Lzma in nsis.
The current nsis-script for ethereal and this patch require at least nsis-rc1. nsis-rc3 is the most recent version on the nsis website, rc4 is already available on sourceforge.
Best regards,
Lars Roland
