Why is the build 208 installer so much bigger than the last?

The file sizes of the previous MSI files hovered aroun 17~18 M while the new one for build 208 is 26 M.
Was there that much new code put into this build, or icons, or what?
Just wondering.

Hello Eric,

it's indeed very interesting, we'll check it. Actually we've never paid
attention to the size of the installer, but so big a difference is weird.

Thanks for your observation.

We've found the reason - you can look at ReSharper's installation folder and
notice that it contains Debug and Release subfolders which are not needed.
Will be fixed
in the next build.
