size of DistFile.cab

I am unhappy that the size of my DistFile.cab file increased from 2.5 to 9.5 MB when I upgraded to LabWindows 7.1.  This makes it harder to distribute my application by email.  Is there any way to get around this unexpected side effect of, "upgrading."

Hello,

This amount of change seems very large.  Could you send me zipped up versions of each disto so that I can tell what the difference is? Maybe you are adding some more NI tools to the distribution unecessarily.

Also, if you are sending this through email you may be able to do something a lot more simple than creating an MSI Installer.  Have the user install the CVI Runtime engine installer once.  Then you can provide as many updates through an email by simply zipping the necessary EXE and UIR files, etc.  This method does not do any version tracking or have an uninstall, but it does allow you to make very small email style applications.
