A little deployment package I've been debugging looks to keep growing each time I uninstall and reinstall it.
I create the package on my machine. The /Release directory contains 3.5MB of data (all the little MSI installer stuff it puts there, etc...) of data. I copy that to Machine B and install. I make a new version, and /Release is still 3.5MB, I uninstall from machine B and install the new package. The new package when looked at through the add-remove programs menu has increased in size by about 200K. Rinse, wash and repeat. After more iterations, my Add/Remove programs now tells me my package is 1.55MB. If I look at the directory it installed to there is only 116kB of data in the install directory. Is this just being mis-reported, or is this actually growing? Where is the additional space going if so? Will it keep growing the more you uninstall and reinstall? Just trying to understand what is happening here.
