>I dont know why WinDev is the size it is and cannot comment. I assume there is an awful lot of stuff under the hood. But actually I dont care if it's 20Gb or 50Gb or 100Gb on our development machines. That is all so 80's and 90's concerns. Disk space is cheap today. I have a 1.5 inch usb stick with 256Gb lying next to my laptop! The end resulting EXE file sizes are only marginally bigger than VFP EXE files and the supporting DLLs are not onerous either.
