Patch File Size

I performed a test on one of my projects. I performed a build on my project and copied the resulting setup files off to a different directory. I then updated the Product Version, Patches, Update Packs, and Versions sections to point to the setup files I just created. I then performed a patch build, my patch file size was around 1,900KB. The actual files used in both versions were exactly the same and had not changed.

Is this correct? Should the patch file be 1,900KB with no modifications?

Thanks,
Chad

What you are probably seeing is the size of the setup engine, your support files, setup dialog theme, and other "baseline" files.
