Bug Description
If no particular compression level is set in the installer script, wix by default uses the MSZIP compression, which is a badly implemented and inefficient variant of ZIP. Setting the CompressionLevel attribute (preferably to high) will activate the LZX compression, which has compression efficiency comparable to lzma/xz and should greatly reduce the size of the installer.
