Packaging Dlls into a Single Exe file

[Guest]

Hi All,

I have a created a WM 5.0 application. It references to multiple custom
dlls. May I know whether these dlls can be packaged into a .exe file together
with the main application?
The reason for this to prevent user from accidental deletion of these dlls
and for security purpose.

Is it possible to be done in Visual Studio 2005 or I have use third party
solution for this?

In turn this .exe will be distributed via a .cab file.

Thanks.

You could add them as an embedded resource, then extract them at runtime
before use.

Could you please elaborate more on how to extract these embedded dlls at
runtime?

Thank you.
