Quick Question About File Sizes - Source and Post Install...
He there,
I have a quick question about file sizes. When I examine a particular file in Explorer and through the installation template, I see the file size is 133KB. After the install package is compiled and run on a test system, that same file size is now 140KB. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Does it have something to do with initial compression then extraction at install-time?
Any insights appreciated!!
Thanks!

Code signing caused the file size differences. Whew!
