.exe file size increased
-
I have a project on VC++ 6.0, the exe file generated out of that was 5 MB,But after conversion to VS2005 it's now 16 MB.what may be the reason? Any thing else is required to reduce the file size. Regards, KDevloper
In the linker settings,
disable Incremental Linking. It can slim down your executable drastically. Try Removing unwanted libraries from project settings and check whether it can make any difference.

Hey jijo, I have already followed the way it's there in your blog, But no it's not helping.. any other idea. Thanks&Regards, KDevloper
"disable Incremental Linking"doesn't make any difference? I hope you've cleaned and rebuild your project. I've tried it in a sample visual studio 2005 project and i can see good result. Please check once again! Well, the MFC libraries are statically linked? that can increase your exe size.kDevloper wrote:
