Hi
My Actual project size is 45 MB, after deploying it the deployment project size is 65 Mb..once i try to install it in the target machine it requires the disk space 180 Mb..why it is happening? so my small 45 Mb project is taking 180 Mb in the target machine..is it normal to all????or i have to do something to reduce the size????? let me know...URGENT
Thanks & Regards

Remember, the .NET framework is ~20 MB, so there's the extra 20 MB in your setup file. As for the extra 115MB I'm unsure. The .NET framework doesn't inflate that much I don't think, so I'm unsure about that one
No,the .net framework doesnt get installed with the setup you make in vs.net as far as I know...
It might not be the .net framework...You might have a lot of dependencies for your application...When you add an executable to the setup project,It will show you the dependencies too..this maybe caused due to the dependencies.
And,a setup always compresses and contains your files,so,it certainly will be a little more after installation :)
but i feel 180Mb is too much...my senior person ask me to reduce the size..i dont know how..
one more thing, i 'm using Crsystal reports XI..so while deploying the "Crystal11_NET_EmbeddedReporting.msm" also get included (which is 58Mb)..so ur suggestions to reduce the size of my product, will be quite helpful for me...thanks
when do i need to include MDAC 2.6? My data storage is Excel..
In you use excel then it is also included in the setup files...
can't understand what u r saying Asgorath?
Actually I'm asking, do i need to include MDAC, if my data storage is Excel?
I'm using DAO to connect Crystal reports-Excel. In vb i'm using the Automation to connect to Excel..
its always a good idea to include mdac 2.8 some client might have it installed.

Without including the MDAC my project is working in one of my clients machine...but i bit worried it may cause any problem in some other machines..what is the actual need to include the MDAC? when do i need to include it into my deployment project like dotnetfx.exe???? I saw these 2 (MDAC & dotnetfx.exe) launch conditions in deployment walkthrough. I don't know is it necessary to include the MDAC launch condition into my project???help pls..
I assume that your using the REference for Excel. Thus, requiring the PIAs depending on your version. You have a 57 Mb deficit after subtracting for CR Merge Modules. Part of this could be from the PIAs and MDAC. ;)
so u mean there is no need to include the MDAC externally like dotnetfx.exe ?!?!?!?!!!!
I think you may only need it if your using ADO. DAO contains a separate reference.
Thanks!! ya i'm not using ADO. In vb i'm using automation technique and in Crystal reports i'm using DAO...
So there is no need to include MDAC, i beleive...
Automation technique? You mean Excel?
