it is normal to have size of wow executable around 24bytes?

No. :) You wrote just the header and not the original data.

For me:

Before header:
7,704,216 bytes.

After header:
7,704,240 bytes.

I am not sure what the component file is for - it seems to have no effect no matter what it says. It does need to have a header if you are including it.

One thing I have discovered is that an AVI file (movie) does need a header to install but the installer doesn't strip the header when copying it into the MPQ for some reason. If anyone knows how to solve this it would be appreciated.
