Project file size.

Postby somnetics » Fri Apr 11, 2014 10:08 am

I have two projects. They should be the same except for the files they contain. But the final executable of one is TWICE as big as the smaller one. Why?

As the projects were building I grabbed a copy of the respective sfx.7zip files I unzipped the files.

In the FileBagIDE.dll folder -
The Sml folder has 1 file
The Big folder has 715 files in 74 folders for 383 mg.

The difference seems to be in the big one the whole dot net 4 is being zipped in. How do I stop it from adding that?

Dear User,

Honestly, it is not totally clear to me which are the differences (as files) with your two project.

Anyway, if one of them include the NET 4 Runtimes, you can exclude their inclusion by deselecting the corresponding selection in the "Application Runtimes" view in IA IDE.
