No idea why. The 'executable' is just an archive of the project without the 
source code. Maybe did you add images or data files ?

That will change nothing.

That can change a little thing.

Did you check "form controls are public" or "keep debugging information in 
executable" ? These two options have an impact on the executable size. And, 
of course, adding data or images files in the project.

Not in the executable (except the variable declaration).

I don't understand. The proper way for doing what ?

This must be updated by hand, and I forget it regularly.
