In this case, one wonders why you need Delphi at all. If you really want to
construct small Windows exe a google search will turn up some valuable
Delphi references. IIRC there is at least one component set available that
replaces most of the big stuff in the VCL with simpler, less capable, and
thus smaller components. There are also a number of pages describing how one
can bypass the VCL and work directly with the Windows API. AFAIK the Delphi
version is not material to these solutions.
Personally I think its usually a complete waste of time trying to produce
very small exe. (There are exceptions, but very few.) In percentage terms,
the difference between a 1MB exe and at 30KB exe is less than 1/4% of the
resources of a modern desktop.
