I have just one problem...the setup file size. Is there any way you could possibly try to cut down on file size next time? What exactly do you have in this thing that makes it soo big?

_everything_ is in it: the compiler, the linker, the IDE, the utilities, the library, the documentation, etc. I.e. everything is in the one file: the setup file. It can not be smaller!

I'm kinda curious:
just what is the compression ration in that setup.exe program?
Is it really really compressed or just everything is just integrated into there?

It's not compressed. I didn't bother to use any compression because I zip it afterwards.

All those files are actually just resources which I create with a program I made.

Sebastian, i've gotten my hands on a program that uses Huffman compression to compile everything into a self extracting exe... then you can use WinZip to compress it even more (although not much more, because it compresses pretty good). It was written in VB though (you may not like to hear that, but oh well).
