Your project's executables (also the changed Precomp 0.48 version) don't support compiling with older versions of delphi (like DELPHI 2010), this would make executables smaller, without the need to use UPX.
Although when compiling setup.exe the compression of Inno Setup will make setup.exe close to the size when used with UPX exe, the extraction time of the executable when starting the installation process will increase.
Only the 32-bit + 64-bit of Precomp.exe and PrecompX.exe executables add up to 13.8 MB (very large size).

PrecompX

ithink CIUv3 uses the initail version of PrecompX (v.1.0).

PrecompX v1.0 (x86):  449 kb  (with UPX))
PrecompX v1.0 (x86):  1.26 mb (without UPX)

but the story of version 2.0.0.1 is different. i was able to manage it..

PrecompX v2.0.0.1 (x86):  200 kb (with UPX))
PrecompX v2.0.0.1 (x86):  862 kb (without UPX)

but anyway, i'll upload the PrecompX of version v2.0.0.1 without UPX.


Modified version of Precomp 0.4.8

the modified version of "Precomp0.48" is not detected as a virus. (i think so ). so you can use the compressed (precomp048 modified) file.

i've changed it using "Visual Studio 2019". then the result was terrible.

Precomp 0.4.8 (x86): 5.07 mb (modified) (without UPX)

but UPX gave it a size of 706 kb.


if anyone knows of a tool instead of UPX, please share it with me.
