Size of MSI file

I have made an MSI that does three simple tasks.
1. Copies a file (80KB)
2. Calls a third party executable (Media Player)
3. Calls another third party executable (Media Player Patch)

When I build the MSI I compress all files into a single MSI and do not have Admin Studio create setup.exe or windows installer files. My end result is an MSI that is about 10MB. I have seen other MSI's that merely call third party executables and their MSI file size is 200-300 KB.

What am I doing wrong?

If you build it with all the files uncompressed outside of the MSI, are there any files that you weren't expecting to see? what size is it now?

looeee
