You can read/write the resource section of the executable.

>> read/write the resource section

You can't update resources in a program, without recompiling.

Especially a running program.
 
There are APIs to writ to the resource section. It involves a bit of messy going around (since the executable can't be running at the time) but it certainly is possible.

Thanks for your valuable advices..
But a few more doubts...what are the APIs used to write on a resource?
 
Check out the BeginUpdateResource API in the MSDN and work your way from there. Mind you: I've never used this functionality, I only know of its existence...


Greetings,
Rick
