Embed files in an existing .EXE

[julianonunes]

How can I add information inside an existing .EXE file and it continues working normally?

Why would anything other than a virus need to do that?

 

[julianonunes]

I want to make an Install System that compress the files and get the compressed files data and include them in the Install System .EXE file. It's not a virus.

So in essence, it's a self extracting archive.
There are several existing solutions.

I need a programming step, because my software will create this file.

It's like Install Shield and other install systems that unify everything in only one file.

Google "self extracting archive how to" perhaps?
