MFC Merge Modules bloated

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   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?!
