Bundling 2 .exe's together in a C# application

Question

I want to write an application that launches another app using Process.Start , but that app is a .exe, can I bundle that into my C# app without it being outside in a folder? I want to make it so my app doesn't need to install at all, so can it be in the app?

Answer 1

Not entirely sure if I understand, but do you mean so you can ship it and send it around as a single .exe (rather than zipping it all up)?

Could you embed the .exe in as an embedded resource and have your own .exe put it in some temporary files?

Answer 2

You want to make two exe's look like one exe?

There is no reasonable way to do this. Are you using someone else's program and don't want people to know?
