Re: Extracting files from an EXE

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



There is Zip genius software.

You can zip a file and then direct it unzip all files to a directory and
then run an exe if it is named Setup.exe.

That would get the files in a directory and then run your exe.

Otherwise, this sounds a lot like a virus.

Hi All,
I have a small exe app ( basic a dialog box) that when lauched needs to
"copy" some files in a directory chosen by the user (within the dialog). I
cannot use an installation package because there are some particular tasks
to be done from the exe.
Anyhow I was wondering if it possibile to include files within the (C#)exe
and then extract them from the exe when launched...sort of an
installation.
I was thinking to add them as resources but I do not know how to extract
them.

Please any hint will be appreciated

Thank you
Zagor
