If you build your 32 bit and 64 bit MSI's, and then compare the checksums of the cabs, are they different?

Subject: [WiX-users] Installer size doubles up if signed Hi, We are in the process of migrating to Wix from the old Visual Studio installer and are hitting an issue. We use a single setup project that runs once in 32 bit mode and once in 64 bit to generate two MSI files. These are then packaged together using Burn. When the external cab files are not signed (but the MSIs and final setup exe is) the final exe generated by the bootstrapper is ~50MB. However, if we decide to sign the external cabs as well before creating the bundle the final setup size becomes 100MB. We would ideally like to sign the Cab files.
