In Win32, the total size of 4.06 (extracted from the package) is
close to 20MB (close to twenty megabytes). For 5.00pre9 it would be
close to 23MB.

That's why I am NOT requesting to compress anything. I was just
asking if someone would know if there was any detail / matter / issue
that should need to be considered if I would want (or need) to
compress some installer (probably with UPX) and use the resulting
executable. If I understood correctly, there is no known problem for
me to do it, in case I want to.
Other than that, I leave the potential considerations about
compressing (or not) any particular file to the development team.
Thanks to all for the replies,
Ady.
