sets the compression effort for the zip archive attached to the installer up from the default to almost the absolute maximum. In the future if the version of .NET used is updated to a modern version of .NET Core then add `-mm=Deflate64` and replace `-mfb=258` with `-mfb=257` for a an even further improved compression ratio.
Was previously version 18.05 before this point. Also as a note both this binary and the one it's replacing are 32-bit, 64-bit releases are available and could be used instead.
This was done with IcoCrush from IcoTools + Oxipng with the following command: `IcoCrush -i "main_icon.ico" --write-in-place --preferred-format MinimizeStorage --png-tool "oxipng -v -o max -Z -a --nb --nc"` Note: This icon will not render on Windows XP and older, If support for such versions is desired then changing "MinimizeStorage" to "PngLargeImages" in the above command will produce a .ico compatible with versions of Windows older then Vista at the cost of size.

ReShade is Windows Vista+, so that's certainly enough compatibility for the icon. .NET can't currently be updated unfortunately to retain that compatibility with older Windows versions. |

No lossy operations where used only lossless.
Expending on what I said/noted in one of the commits: Deflate64 is only supported in newer versions of .Net or more specifically newer versions of System.IO.Compression, so If Reshade's setup is ever upgraded to a modern version of .Net Core then Deflate64 can be used instead of Deflate for a nice compression gain.
The update to 7za.exe is not 100% necessary but I felt it was fine to include it.
