[WiX-users] installing SSL website on IIS 7.5 using Wix 3.0

Yes, I've been using -cc and -reusecab switches for months and it has been great timesaver ;-) I've just found out, that using MSZIP compression is better then using no compression. Mszip compresses the CAB file to half the size and still the main bottleneck is the disk drive, so it is faster!
