Thats exactly what this demo does. You can write the resource programs
anywhere that you'd like, and then you can delete them when you are
finished. I only used the working directory for this demo.

The thing to do is to extract the required file, run it, and delete it when you
are finished with it. I would create a temporary folder, extract what files I
needed from my resource file, run them if needed, and when my program
finished, I would then delete the temporary folder we created when we
first ran our program.

Hi Flypaper,

Does this demo show/explain things really well for you? Does it fit your
needs? My reason for asking is if it is a good example, I will include it with
my next update of SSRC.EXE.

For the most part, yeah it does. I was really hoping for something that could be run without actually creating the .exes, for various reasons, but this is leaps and bounds better than just putting the executables in a directory.

Even with the programs that are written in other programming languages,
it is not possible to run an executable strictly from memory. There are special
descriptors in an executables code that tells the operating system how to
load the executables code into memory. To my knowledge, this is the only
work around for VDS. I use similiar code in SSZip.Dll for the SFX stubs.

I've tested having one create an obscure directory, and drop the exe there, then run it, then have it delete the folder and its self.
