Skeletor,

Why on earth do you want to do this?

P.S. And just to be absolutely clear - this is the Mod team determining the legality of the thread, so everyone else please keep out.

Skeletor,

More bytes = bigger price?

Melba32,

Not really. I had an issue in the past where I came with a 1MB program. 

It did it's job but perfectly compared to the commercial program it was up against. However, because of it's size, some people think its not worth it. 

So yeah, that's my reason for the question. 

Kind Regards
Skeletor

Skeletor,

Then go ahead and stuff the executable with resources! Make sure the forum gets a cut if you do sell it!

then follow the example of the big boys (Symantec has always been my role-model for this kind of bureaucracy stuff):

- add a huge high quality logo to your GUI

- throw in a 30-page license agreement

- add 10 more confirmation steps to your setup program

- use an elaborate yet meaningless version numbers (like 27.4.63.1183), so you can validate it with your clients when they seek support

- oh, and my all-time favorite: add a progress bar when installing your files, with artificial delays in it (after all your files have been copied within a tenth of a second, of course)

yes, some of it was sarcasm. no, not all of it... ;)

 

b.t.w i assume that this:

Had an almost similar issue, but in my case it was packaging.

I used the mini-CD to distribute my program, and for precisely that reason had to switch back to standard size CD even thought I used about 1% of it. :D
