Re: Importing transparently another exe file

Accidently its an installation program so one may asume that the user has
administrator previlages. Is there any C/C++ example that doing something
similar.

Thanks

As Ajay points out, in order to execute the resource you need to store it
as a .exe file.
This may not be possible. In fact, many anti-virus programs are
configured to forbid the
writing of executable files on the disk, and cannot be overridden by
anyone other than an
administrator. So this seems like a bad idea. When you do an install,
the person logged
in doing the installation has rights to do an installation, which means
writing executable
files on the disk. After that, it is just pure hope.

All of this seems to go back to the "I don't want to have anything more
complex than a
single executable to deliver", which is a pretty lame excuse, since this
hasn't really
been a valid way of distributing software for over a decade.

and
this will be transparent to the user(I hope I explained my need good
enough).

Is it possible and how?

Thanks in advance
