C++ - Pure WIN32 Self-Extract EXE Builder (Part - 4 (Continue))

Part - 4 (Continue)

Now, we have both the header and content data file, and it is the time to merge this 2 files into a single file before proceed to compress it using the Zlib^* algorithm.

PHP Code:

---

// Begin to merge the header and data file
if (TRUE == MergeSelfExtractData (hWnd))
{
    // Compress the current data file to the user define location & 
    // Notify user about the process is completed
    if (0 == Compress(szTmpBinFile1, szTmpBinFile3))
    {
        // Proceed to spawn the SetupEx.exe
        
        // Proceed to inject the merge data file into the spawned SetupEx.exe
    }
}
else
    // Notify user about the error
    MessageBox(hWnd, "Fail to compress the self-extract file!", APP_TITLE, MB_OK | MB_ICONSTOP);
