Single-file self-contained executable
The product build produces a single executable containing the application, its dependencies and the .NET runtime, compressed. Nothing else is installed and nothing is shared with other applications.
Why not trimmed#
Trimming would make the file smaller, but DeskDrawer's behaviour depends on COM interop with the Windows shell — the mechanism behind the Shell context menu — and on late-bound calls that a trimmer cannot see. Trimming would remove code that is only reached through those paths and the application would fail at runtime in ways no build-time check would catch. A larger download is the correct trade.
