I thought we'd pretty much established that:
  1. Resources are fairly trivial to extract, so they offer little in the way of privacy or security.
  2. Doing this kind of thing is a huge red-flag to antivirus software, making it fail for most users.
  3. Since the primary use of such techniques is injecting malware and there is no significant legitimate reason for doing it we don't discuss such things here.

I seem to recall some suspicious rationale like "I have to restrict this 3rd party software I'm using so people can't just use it themselves."

If a vendor sells a software product subject to this kind of restriction they would provide some sort of enforcement mechanism like automated licensing to enforce it. Such a "reason" just leads to more suspicion about the motives behind this request.


But perhaps you can tell us what you really need to accomplish. We might have more viable alternatives to suggest.

If this is another "I don't want to use a proper installer" issue I have nothing more to offer. It just isn't worth the trouble to reinvent the wheel.
