How do I invoke an exe that is an embedded resource in a .Net assembly?

Question

I have a non-.Net executable file that is included in my .net assembly as an embedded resource. Is there a way to run this executable that does not involve writing it out to disk and launching it?

This is .Net 2.0.

Answer 1

You can load a .NET assembly from a byte array using an overload of Assembly.Load .

However, there are implications for the security model that need to be considered which make things more complex. See the discussion here , and also this thread .

If your embedded executable is not .NET then I think you will have to write it out to disk first.

Answer 2

您可能会尝试将您的exe注入暂停的进程，然后唤醒被劫持的进程，但这似乎是灾难的一个秘诀。
