After an installer for our product is built, it may undergo a transformation
by a utility that we wrote...i.e. some properties are changed, Binary table
entries updated, and SummaryInformation updated. This tool uses the
installer COM API.
After this operation, the installer inexplicably grows from 9.9 MB to
11.7MB even though the elements being updated are simply being
replaced. Before
and after should be approximately the same size.
But here's the real mystery:
If I open the new 11.7 MB installer in Orca, then close Orca without making
any changes or saving the file, the file shrinks back down to 9.9 MB.
Where is this mystery flab? Is there a way to get rid of it without using
Orca?
