I've heard that "exe", "dll", and "data" files can merged to one "exe" file.
How to do this?

At least one method is to store the .dll and data files as resource segments. You can't
use them until you extract them, but they allow packaging as a single file. The other
obvious solution is self-extracting zipfiles, which you can create with pkzip or winzip.

Hello!

In an old application we have used MFC to built the application which
consist of several DLL and exe files and other kind of files.
I just wonder if it's possible to use the Setup project feature to build the
installation files and so on.
I want to use VS2005 that exist in Other Project Types->Setup and Deployment

8. Exporting global data from a DLL to an EXE

Hi,
I have a "Win32 Application" and I must use some global data defined(and
initialized) in a DLL linked to the Application.
As suggested by MSDN,I have exported this global data from the DLL  in this
way:
    - In the DLL, I have used the keyword DLLEXPORT
    - In the EXE I have used the keyword  DLLIMPORT
But when I run the EXE the application crashes!
The problem is that, in the EXE, the imported  global data are all equal to
zero and the application doesn't see the initializationsdone in the DLL!
Does someone know where is the problem?
Thanks to All.
