EXE File Size?

[bsmith0183]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone knew of any way to increase the file size of a newly created EXE

I only have one line of code in the script

ShellExecute ("ReadPFile.exe", "Let_There_Be_Ys.pdf")

After I build the EXE its only like 295kb is there a way to build it and have it like 4 or 5 MB?

Only reason being I am trying to run it on a 64bit windows 7 PC and I read somewhere that 64bit systems do not like small executables not sure

if this is true or not

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Yeah - include some files (images, ... whatever)

I read somewhere that 64bit systems do not like small executables not sure

if this is true or not

where have you got that idea from ??

EDIT: also, uncheck UPX at compile time.

you can include files like this:

FileInstall("C:\source.jpg", @TempDir & "\source.jpg")

I dug out my old old 64 bits windows 7 laptop from behind a heap of old curtains in my attic (only 6 GB of RAM and 2.3 ghz, remember the good old days... ) and started a 28kb helloworld executable... Ran just fine!

Yeah, and then the files get installed every time you run the script.

Add files to resources like this

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=test_1.txt, rt_rcdata, TEST_TXT_1
