I downloaded the setups from the links, and used the "Extract" option in the installers. It appears that only the license was changed: http://pastebin.com/G3H78

Edit: However, the installer binaries' sizes differ by 113280 bytes, while the extracted files' size totals differ only by 925 bytes.
Edit 2: the majority of the size difference is in the .rsrc section, the newer version contains several additional binary resources, some of which appear to be boot loaders. And the text resources are different... is it possible the installed versions are different and the extracted ones are not?

- mquander 15y agoThat makes sense, since the installer has compressed its contents.
- 16s 15y agoSeveral files were added to the .rsrc/BIN folder. See the second screenshot here. http://16s.us/TCHunt/discrepancy/Screenshot2.png http://16s.us/TCHunt/discrepancy/Screenshot2.png
- DCoder 15y agoYes, that's what I said... but this is the resource section of the installer, not of the extracted executable. The extracted executable is the same and doesn't, as far as I can see, make any references to those resources. It is possible they recompiled it with the new license and the installer project was configured to carry all resources it found in specific folders, while the executable was configured to only include specific resource files... I used Extract instead of Install because my system disk is already truecrypt'ed, but if you can provide the files the installation creates, I could compare those too.
- DCoder 15y agoSorry for double posting, but those additional resources are boot loaders for Rescue Disks. Why and how do they differ from normal loaders, I don't know.
