It is possible to include this file in Setup.dll, and for some installers it is even possible to include Setup.dll itself into Setup.exe so you have only Setup.exe + compressed archives.

Setup.dll is a FreeArc archive. You can extract it with FreeArc normally (change DLL extension to ARC).

Thank you very much! I'll look into it and let you know if I have any questions.)

Hi KaktoR! Could you please tell me which script I can use to maximize the compression of Cyberpunk 2077 using DiskSpan? I also have an idea. Do you think it would work? I want to combine two different versions of the game (2.13 and 1.63) into a single archive. Do you think the file size will be smaller that way?

use this xtool config to decompress game data and compress them with srep+lolz to maximize compression.

merging two different version of a game into a single archive is not a good idea. you shouldnt even compress all game data into a single archive, rather split the files up into multiple folder according to datatype and compress those folders individually using best methods for that datatype. or use arc.groups.

Thanks, but I'm already trying it, the experiment itself is interesting)
