With version 1.7 Exceldna.Intellisense64 and before Excel-Dna IntelliSense Host ?

[AL7Seven]

Afternoon, Just a little (dummy?) question about ExcelDna.IntelliSense64.xll.

I just loaded a new version 1.70 Before this new version, in Excel add-ins menu, it was written "Excel-Dna IntelliSense Host" as the add-in Title. This ExcelDna.IntelliSense64.xll has a 2073 Ko. (I don't remember the version and from where i downloaded it).

Since the 1.70 version it's written "Exceldna.Intellisense64" as the add-in Title. Its size is 644 Ko. Would explain why and what are the difference?

Any advice? Thank you.

Excel sometimes displays the file name (Exceldna.Intellisense64), and other times displays the internal add-in name (Excel-DNA IntelliSense Host) after loading the add-in. For example, if you download an add-in, Excel might block it from being loaded until you 'Unblock' it in the file properties. In that case, Excel will display the file name, and not load the add-in code to read the internal name. Once you have the add-in working, you might find that the internal add-in name is displayed again in your Excel. Nothing in this regard has changed between IntelliSense add-in versions, but Excel might behave differently during the add-in install process.

I see there were older versions of the IntelliSense add-in that were bigger. I think we've changed at times how the assemblies packed into internal resources are compressed.
