Include exe file as a resource (solved)
Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2023 1:52 pm
Good afternoon,
I have created a small program in fwh64, for example, "myapp.exe." The program "myapp.exe" calls a utility, "pdftopng.exe," which is open-source and occupies 1MB, in the background. I would like to distribute my program as a single file, "myapp.exe." Is it possible to include "pdftopng.exe" within "myapp.exe" as a resource or library, or something similar? Then, when the client copies "myapp.exe" to their computer and runs it, it would check if "pdftopng.exe" is in the program's folder, and if it's not, extract it to be used.
Thank you and regards,
Alvaro
