Executable compressors work by compressing selected portions of executables. At runtime, compressed executables are decompressed and reconstructed directly into their virtual image (memory) so that no data is ever written to the disk. The executable can therefore be run exactly as it was before without the user even knowing it was compressed.
PECompact2 is a next generation win32 executable/module compressor. Commonly termed an ‘executable packer’, such utilities compress executables and modules (i.e. *.EXE, *.DLL, *.OCX, *.SCR). At runtime the compressed modules are rapidly decompressed in memory.

What’s new in v PECompact v2.80 beta 6:
Changes since 2.79:
This beta 6 release intends to add support for proper preservation (or stripping) of debug information in compressed executables.
Addition.Core: Completely rewrote the debug data directory handling. It now can properly relocate the entire IMAGE_DEBUG_DIRECTORY array and referenced raw data into an uncompressed area of the executable. This has two effects: (1.) Debuggers like Visual Studio can find and match the debug symbols in compressed executables and (2.) the size of compressed executables may be reduced further than it was in previous versions when /stripdebug:no and debug information is present.
Change.Console: High-level overview dump of debug data directory now given when /verbose is specified.
Change.Core: Added detection of UPX’d executables (and abort if multicompress is not enabled).
Addition.GUI: Added Korean translation thanks to Jon gryu
Change.GUI: Updated german translation thanks to u!^UBY
Change.GUI: Added strings and terminal output for UPX’d executables.
Change.Installer: delete old language setting, forcing pec2gui to ask for new.
Removal.Installer: Removed Japanese translation.
