Can anyone(expert) help me here?

I want to bind to exe files together (i've tried the programs on the net they all have trojans in them and they exactly don't do what i want).

or

i want to make a container (sheild) exe that would hold the 2 programs together and when a user runs it it loads the 2 programs.
I've seen this in few programs that do that to protect their source code (hiding the main program in a shield program) but that was done in C++.
But can this be possible in VB6? How?

That is like using it for virus and trojan.


But you can do it..it's called a resource file..use a resource file

I need it because i've split the functions of my program in 2 standerd exe which seems to speeded up my program and reduced lot of problems. I can still load the 2 together with shell command and unload using API calls but it's confusing for some people who are using it.

Regards!

ok now i know how to write a binary file with an exe extention. But the program i mentioned above doen't write the file with an exe extention, instead it writes with tmp extention and loads the program. How did they do that?

Try going to www.lockless.com they have good progz there.

well, you can always create a third program that can shell the 2 main programs.

Or you can do what I did with my program and just have the first program shell the second program in the form_load event.

ok i can open an exe with a shell command, but how did they are using a .tmp file to load an executable in the memory?

the program i'm talking about doesn't create an exe, instead it creates a file with .tmp extention.
