Very interesting what you are saying.
Can you tell what exactly doesn’t work ?

I have Windows x64 but no time now to check it.

It doesn’t work on Visual 2008 and Vista64.

What do you mean code ?
There is no code at all you have to write for the release version.

NN could I get the code for that? I've been waiting for someone to do this for a while. Otherwise I will have to pay an edi expert or a programmer. And I would rather not reach that deep into my pockets.

Have you seen Legacy Extender for Visual Studio: http://www.legacyextender.com, it has a library with the missing functions, so it is compatible with optimization too, and it also reimplements some Unicode functions which are present but non-working in Windows 95.

Static link does not solve problem for using same heap between dll and exe.
Using dynamic linking you get much smaller executable than using static.

Isn’t this overkill? What are you saving overall, about 20 kB ? Why not just statically link all your dlls/exes and then use an installer that uses LZMA compression.

It was an interesting post even despite the impracticality of using this in production.

No, I didn’t.
It was just a prove of concept to make this work.
You are welcome to write some script to do this.
It will be nice to publish it too

I assume you created a little app that does this for you as a post-build step?
