Re: hta's and dll's

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

The objective is to create a small library of logo and standard theme
images which can be deployed/change protected.


Just read in the image as a string, as
though it were a text file, do some kind of encryption
if you want to - and then write it to a 2nd file. You could
put all the image strings into a single DAT file (or DLL
if you like) and then just use Textstream again to read
them back out.

This is essentially what I'm trying to do ..apparently my problem is
getting the images into a dll.


If I send someone an msi file I suspect it will confuse them....

It doesn't have to be named with an MSI extension,
as long as it's an MSI file. The resource DLL may
be better if you can work it out, but whatever you
do it will be unorthodox in the context of VBS and HTAs. :)
