I don't think you can store EXEs as resource data. The best you could do is to attach that EXEs code to your Main EXE & upon running it read & save that EXE's code to disk. Though it will be completely inappropriate & unwanted. Why don't you use the system() function or ShellExecute() [Strictly Windows] to execute that EXE.
