    update program

    Okay, here is the deal, i have 2 programs, one of which has a predetermined ICQ number programmed into it, and i would like to create another program that will change that ICQ number to a specified number, then create/update the exe file. I have source to both files, because they are my projects, im just not sure how i would do this.

    Well ...

    If you have the source to the program, why not change it and recompile the EXE? If it's your code, obviously you should know where to make the changes.

    Microsoft Visual C++ lets you open the EXE as resource files.

    You could just write to ini and then read from ini so they can edit the ini later.

    f you placed the icq number in a resource, then, as i have said way long ago in this thread, you could use resource hacker to change it. or you could use API...
