We see a size difference here when building our application in VC 2008 Express vs. VC 2008 Professional (both SP1). The EXE built by VC 2008 Professional is about 10%+ smaller. We are using the exact same project files, so all the settings are the same and we’re also building on the same OS with the same platform SDK, DLLs etc. installed.
Is there a known difference in code generation or what could cause this?

    The Express version has a number of optimisations disabled, so the code will tend to be both slower and more bloated.
