C# How to get the PATH of the embedded .exe file

Question

I have an exe file which I run through windows command prompt and give command line arguments . I went through this post and ran the following command:

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames();

But all it did, is to give me resource files located in WindowsFormsApplication1\\obj\\Debug folder

I went through this post but it tells on how to execute the exe directly without the running it from cmd.

I even tried the following command:

string path = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "MyApplication.exe");

It worked but after clearing my C:\\Users\\UserName\\AppData\\Local\\Temp folder the application started giving an error.

I even tried the following command:

global::ApplicationName.Properties.Resources.MyApplication

but it gives byte[] and not the path to the application.

All I want to know is how to run the application which is embedded in my resources so that I can successfully execute the following command:

var proc = new Process
                    {
                        StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo
                        {
                            FileName = "cmd.exe",
                            Arguments = "/K " + MyApplication+" Argument "+Path1+" "+Path2 ,
                            UseShellExecute = false,
                            RedirectStandardOutput = true,
                            CreateNoWindow = true
                        }
                    };
                    proc.Start();

                    while (!proc.StandardOutput.EndOfStream)
                    {

                        string line = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
                        using (System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(resultFile))
                        {
                            file.WriteLine(line);
                        }
                    }

Extract the resource into a file in the filesystem and then run it.

byte[] fileContents = ApplicationName.Properties.Resources.MyApplication;
File.WriteAllBytes("MyApplication.exe", fileContents);

Now you can run the file using MyApplicaton.exe as path.
