Oh, we get it alright. Have a look at the Resources page of the project properties. What is listed there? Is that where you added the file as a resource?

Well, first of all, you don't put the ".exe" there.

If you mean the Solution Explorer then you certainly can add the file there but you then can't access it via My.Resources. My.Resources relates specifically to resources added to the Resources page of the project properties. If you add the file to the Solution Explorer and then set the Build Action to Embedded Resource, a resource is added but you must write some extra code to use a ResourceManager to retrieve the data yourself rather than My.Resources doing it for you.
