Hi,Im testing the FinalBuilder 5.0.0.60. I had a Win32 VCL project written in D2006. Im also using madExcept. Here is my different compile results;1.D2006 with madExcept : 10.611K2.D2006 w/o madExcept : 9.989K3.With FB : 9.911(madExcept is open in project file)in FB Im checking use settings from project file and the checkboxes below it. I think 1 and 3 must be the same.What is the reason of differences in exe sizes?Thanks.

There are a number of possible reasons for different sizes, usually it is because of different compiler/linker options, different library paths or missing or different resource files being linked in. Sometimes delphi will create different size files depending on whether you build or just compile.
