We have a C++ executable that has a post-build step of adding the LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag (using editbin).  We have verified it works by doing a dumpbin on the executable image.  However, when we package the image up in an .msi deployment project (vdproj) and then install it, the LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag has been stripped somehow.  We know it is the original executable because the size and date match exactly.  We have verified this happens on several machines so it doesnt appear to be due to a setting on a single machine.<br/> <br/> Has anyone ever seen this before? Can anyone explain it and how we can avoid this from happening?
