windows installer - Why Installshield msp size is big -
i have 2 msis size of around 17mb, difference between 2 msis small. when i'm generating patch via the patch design, output msp around 15mb , cannot correct, because there no such difference exists. reason this? how can verify i'm patching difference between 2 msis? please note files added msi via dynamic linking option. i've opened both msis in msi diff tool , i've noticed each file has status of deleted , added, think somehow comparing component name , not actual file. because msi file grabbed via "dynamic linking" option.
are using patch optimization when building patches? should in case.
take @ following documenation:

also, when build patch there option include whole files or differntial files. make sure make use of option.
hope helps.
