including other .exe's

[mandreko]

in my application, i need it to have another .exe built into it (like in vb6 with a resource file) so that i can execute it also. My program is dependent on the program i want to include.

How can i go about including another exe file, and then moving it to a local file on the person's hard disk, and lastly running it?

If it's easier, i could just put the running part in the RunOnce registry key, so really all i NEED is to have my .exe include another, and then to be able to play with it.

Anyone have any ideas?

If your using the installer that is included with .Net IDE, you can add other files to the project. Just add your exe and it will compress it along with all the other included files into one .msi file.

but will that allow me to execute the program or choose where to put it? i need it to be in another folder than the c:\program files\ or etc...

i'm not familiar with the MSI installer, but i'm gonna dick around with it.
