.cab file size grows rapidly when adding file

79 Views Asked by At

I have a deployment project, which creates a .cab file of my App for installing it on a Windows Mobile 6.5 PDA. Recently I made the app multillingual. Because of the CabWiz bug(concerning localization), I added my resource files manually via the Add / File... functionality.

Now the size of the created .cab file rises enormously. First, the .cab file was less than 500KB. Now, after adding 1 resource file(about 50KB) the size ist about 2.4MB!

Because of the bigger size I get OutOfMemoryExcepitons during the OTA Update in my App.

Does anyone know, how to prevent that enormous increase of size of the .cab file?

Thanks in advance!
