How can i open a exe file in my resoure

I have a exe file in my resoure. How can i open it.(execute it)?

Code:

---

        Dim path As String = Application.StartupPath & "\temp.exe"
        IO.File.WriteAllBytes(path, My.Resources.TheResourceFile)
        Process.Start(path)

---

and then just delete the file when you're finished executing it (if you want)

Thanks, i tried your way but it may be quite slowly,i thinks the reason is "writeallbytes" to new path , is there other way more quickly open that exe file ?

Write it to a MemoryStream instead...beware that if the size of the executable exceeds available memory, it might not be a nice idea after all. -.-

I'm curious to see how this would be done, does anybody have an example of someone launching an executable into memory without writing it to its own file first?
