Different versions of DLL files for the same .NET build...why?

I have .net v2.0.50727 installed on three systems.  One is Win2K Pro, win2k
server and the other is Vista Home Premium.  

I built an applications that generates RTF files on the fly and noticed a
difference in the output file size from one platform to the other.  Not a
small difference...but significant.  The file is about 30k on Vista, 40k on
Win2k Server and 150K on Win2K Pro.  

It's the same code, same VS 2005.  What I did find out is that on each
platform, the .net dll ( System.Windows.Forms.dll ) that i'm using is not the
same.  It's producing different results because of this ( I belive ).

I'm basicly looking to find out if that is the case, if the dll's are the
cause behind this, or if I should be looking else where.  This could go
either way.  They are all different platforms, therefore the code is most
likely different for each dll.  But why produce a better results on a
different platform?  If the dll's have been improved, should it not be a
newer version of the framework installed?

If it helps...the source of the smaller file size is the embeded image.  
There seems to be a better "compression" from one platform to the other.  On
one platform the image could take up 15000 lines, but on another, it looks to
be half that much.

Thanks for any help on this issue.

The .NET bits use the underlying COM bits, so the DLL that actually creates
the RTF is the issue. If you really need equal file sizes, consider a third
party RTF library of some sort.
