Tom, While it's not a bug as such, I'd submit a bug report for it on the connect site. Many moons ago MS put some effort into making the VC/MFC libraries more modular so that only the required bits were pulled in for static links. It seems like this desirable characteristic has been swept under the carpet just lately. Dave

From: Tom Serface on 25 May 2010 19:50 Already done. I think it's been a problem for a number of people. Fortunately, I don't do many programs statically linked. I knew this was a problem during the beta, but I thought they were going to fix it for the RTM. Alas.

This is what I saw earlier, maybe just feedback rather than a bug? https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/504714/statically-linked-mfc-applications-are-massive?wa=wsignin1.0 Tom "David Lowndes" <DavidL(a)example.invalid> wrote in message news:dpoov59c2bsimdicdfe3grjaidq5quho9f(a)4ax.com... >>Already done. > > Got a link to the bug report? > > Dave |
