Dear wqweto,

Probably a 28 KB file, it was my file. Your compiled code cannot take up less than 100 KB. And I dealt with it thoroughly today. 100 KB is very annoying. This is a lot, especially when you want to write a small SFX module on VB.

I understood why the EXE takes up so much space in your case. You saved the subroutine in Base64 inside the class itself. Moreover, you didn't even pack it with anything. I think we can reduce the size of the EXE if we at least pack this subroutine with at least the simplest data packing algorithm.

Of course, the fact that Vb6 itself, when it creates an EXE, stores strings only in Unicode, which doubles the size of the EXE when they contain large strings, adds to the troubles. It's not profitable, of course.

That's why I started working with other algorithms, immediately putting your class aside. 100 KB is a lot, of course.

Thanks for your attention
