Subject: [DUG] How to reduce size of Delphi XE2/DevExpress compiled exe?

If I compile the attached project in Delphi XE2, which only contains a blank form, I get a 7MB exe.

If I start using DevExpress components, what used to be a 5MB exe in Delphi 2005 turns into a 25MB exe in XE2.

- What can I do to reduce the size? The blank project would have been about 500KB in previous versions of Delphi.
- How can I keep the file size down when using DevExpress components?
