How to Create Project Executable with Minimal size?

Hi!

I created a new project in Torque3D
and my project has a very big size:

My Project.exe - 98.5 Kb (It's normally),
but also another file exists:
My Project.dll - 10,1 MB (It's Very Big!).

How to decrease size of Project?

Apart from removing large sections of code I think your options are limited, you could probably use packers of various forms to reduce the actual filesize but this is just a disk saving option as it expends in memory anyway.

NB I'm not sure 10mb is big by modern standards, the debug DLL is 25-26mb i have single image assets larger than 10mb in my project in places

No, 10MB isn't very large at all. 99.999% of your final project will be models, textures and sound anyway :)
