I've searched the net for an explanation, but all I find is annoyed developers who have discovered the same problem...

MFC 9.0 (including CRT + localization) = 2,10 MB
MFC 9.0 SP1 (including CRT + localization) = 4,94 MB
 
Ok, so 2,84 MB "feature pack" stuff was added. Totally unacceptable, but let's ignore that for a minute...
 
Let's try creating a simple project using the old vs the new merge modules:
 
MSI_With_Old_MFC_MSM.msi = 5,34 MB
MSI_With_New_MFC_MSM.msi = 14,0 MB
 
Difference: 8,66 MB
 
This means 5,82 MB garbage was added. Crazy!
 
Anybody has a clue about what is going on here? More, have you got an idea of how to correct this BUG?!
