    [2008]Add .exe to project?

    Is there a way to add an exe to my project. I have a command line .exe and i was wondering if it could somehow be bundled into my app so i can call, but have it all by contained in the single vb.net exe.

    It is somewhat possible but really not a good idea. Just distribute the other EXE with your own. If you only want to distribute one file then acquiant yourself with the ZIP format.
