As small as possible without a giant effort? :) One problem is BleachBit is an application designed to remove files to free disk space, and so it is ironic on Windows its footprint is much bigger compared to similar Windows applications that don't use GTK+. "Success" would be the minimize the difference. A similar application's installer 1-3MB (depending on which installer is chosen).
