You can remove files or add files when you are using the PDW.
For example MDAC_typ.exe can be removed if you are sure that
target machines have already mdac installed.

Subject: [pro_vb] Package and Deployment file size


Hello:

I've noticed that the Package and Deployment wizard creates very large 
setup files and folders for applications.  My relatively simple app (data 
entry forms, reports, and some DLL's) was approximately 40MB.

Looking at more advanced appplications on the net, many of their setup 
packages are less than 5MB.

Is it something I am doing wrong?

I think it has to do with the P&D wiz including all the support files, 
dll's, MDAC, etc.  However, if I am developing for a Win98 machine (for 
example), do I need to include all the other files?  How do I not include 
the others.

Any help appreciated!
