Size of setup?

Hi,

I use the Setup project in C# to create a .msi file to be distributed to the
clients.
The size of .msi is 12 MB. This file works fine on all the target machines,
but on the development machine every time I remove the existing .msi (from
add/remove programs) and install a new version, the size increases by 13-14
MB.

Since i have to install the .msi multiple times... this size increase is
causing a lot of problems.... I am already on 110 MB :)

Any ideas what is going wrong? Is the uninstall not working as expected?
Everything is fine on the target machines though!

Vb6 does not have this problem

..NET is bloatware; I don't think that you can include the .NET
framework in the setup and allow it to be 10mb

ROFL

..NET framework basically-- it doesn't even work on desktops it doesn't
work on servers..

a) it's not not practical to build apps that rely on the framework
b) there isn't a consistent way to determine which version of the
framework IS installed

does server 2003 have the framework installed? it doesn't show up
under add/remove programs

you're trying to build a MSI for C#?

why don't you just build an EXE and then copy it over? it's really not
that complex

Please don't feed the (dumb) animals. It only encourages them. Like
most 15-year-olds he is desperate for attention and he hopes to get it
here.

I don't hope he gets bored... there's little chance of that. I hope
that he gets LAID... THEN he'll go away.

Of course, there's probably little chance of that, either.

Sorry if the question is a bit basic. I generally express my font sizes in pixels, originally to handle the Macintosh/Windows font size differences (though I believe that they both now treat points the same way, at least within the browser window). It has been suggested that one should use ems to allow browsers to increase or decrease the text size. However, I have never had trouble with pixels.
