Then use PreComp 0.42 since it's officially supported by the script, viewing the changelog most of changes in 0.43 concern JPG compression option :

Linux: Added JPG recompression using PackJPG, full compatibility of Windows and Linux PCF files
Linux: zLib routines are now as fast as under Windows
Windows: Locked files can be read now, multiple Precomp instances can work on the same file
Windows: Static zLib and PackJPG linking (no DLLs needed)
Major GIF rewrite, Precomp now recompresses most GIF files completely
New switch -n for conversion of PCF files (bZip2 <-> no compression)
Compression switch -c uses n (none) instead of - now
Improved timing behaviour and activity indicator updates
Updated to PackJPG 2.5, this fixes JPG crashes
JPG misdetections are now visible in statistics
Filenames are stored in their original case now to improve platform compatibility
Fixed a bug with GIF files at positions above 2 GB
Fixed a bug that led to unnecessary data in PCF files
Fixed a bug in Base64 routines that freezed Precomp

You can ask razor what to change/add in the decompression's formulas to use precomp 0.43 with WPI without crashes.

You're missing the point of precomp. Precomp must not compress the file, in fact, to get good results, the output must beca lot bigger than the input, it even says that in the readme file that came with the exe. If precomp makes the result smaller than input, then do not expect results. I set precomp 0.38 as default for a reason, it does the job perfectly, the output is always bigger than input, unlike the new precomps (041, 042, 043). Precomp 043 will not work just like that, it's complicated, that's why it isn't added on most of my programs, you have to update cls-precomp.dll, you have to inject dll or something like that to make it work, another problem, you don't just use precomp for all files, check the readme or use trial and error because sometimes the final results are even better when you didn't use precomp.
Here's proof:

Input was 10mb.
Precomp038 made it 27mb
Precomp040 made it 27mb
Precomp041 made it 3.3mb
Precomp042 made it 3.3mb
Precomp043 made it 3.3mb

I used a strong compressor from the work of precomp, I used 7-Zip Solid LZMA2.
For precomp038 27mb became 2.5mb
For precomp040 27mb became 2.5mb
For precomp041 3.3mb became 3.3mb
For precomp042 3.3mb became 3.3mb
For precomp043 3.3mb became 3.3mb

That's really interesting, thx to your explanation I now understand how it really work
