    "Description": "Best way to do that is to include and depend on smaller unzip library, rather than depending on the full DotNetZip library.  A SFX will never need the ZipOutputStream, for example, or the Write events, or the SaveSelfExtractor stuff. All it needs is a basic ability to read and extract a zip file .",

      "Message": "I looked into this; I need the entire ZLIB library, and the BZIP library. Also need the ZipEntry reading and extracting logic.  In order to produce a \"slim\" self-extractor, I'd need about 200k in source code, in compressed form, which I could then compile at the time the SFX is created.  This would expand the Zip DLL itself by about 50%, in order to support the goal of shrinking the SFX's it produces.\r\n\r\nThere are some other ideas for reducing.  For example, I could pre-compile the thin extractor logic into its own assembly and only embed the compiled assembly. This will be smaller than 200k.  Also I could skip the Ionic.Zlib library, and rely on System.IO.Compression.  I could also restrict the features in the SFX - for example cut out the ZIP64, WinzipAES, or BZip2.  All of this is a significant engineering investment. I'm not inclined to make the investment for a goal of so limited interest. \r\n\r\nFor now I am deferring this. Maybe I will come up with some better ideas.",
