Error! Running an exe from within the script exe. Help!

Recommended Posts

Greetings!

How can I run a *. exe included in my executable?

I have done these things:

Note: I use the UDF # include "resources.au3" in my script.

# AutoIt3Wrapper_useupx = n

# AutoIt3Wrapper_run_after = ResHacker.exe-add% out%,% out%, listF.exe, RCDATA, TEST_BIN_1, 0

# Endregion

then I tried to use it like this:

RunWait (@ ComSpec & '/ c' & _ResourceGet (TEST_BIN_1 ") & 'kernel32.dll> yor.txt')

It does not work!. :)

I do not want to save ResourceSaveToFile ($ FileName ,...) I want to use from within the executable.

What could be happening?

novi,

Searching would have found this post in the Resources thread - and you should pay particular attention to Zedna's reply! :)

CMD.exe only accepts a valid built in command (like CD) or a path to an executable file. You can't pass it a binary executable. I don't think you can pass execution to a memory image like that at all without getting in to ASM stuff. Execution of what is supposed to be data space is a specific security risk, and a lot of effort goes into preventing it.

Why can't you just save the executable to a file first?

Gives the whole project a malicious air...

I understand, I also think that is the problem. But how then can pass the embedded executable path?

I do not want to download the file first because I want to run the program from a CD, for example.

Would greatly appreciate someone to help me, and I have a surprise for everyone if I can do this!

That's exactly what I'm suspicious of, that the whole point of this is to give AutoIt a black eye by malicious behavior that will be "a suprise for everyone".

I'm withh you on this and if the OP can't provide a valid reason for this code then the moon WILL be made of cheese before he gets another answer from me. Also I don't know what makes him think that any of us are stupid enough to actually run his code anyway.

Well, well, not alermen, did not say it through anything. I assure you my intentions are good.

The purpose of this script is run 'listF.exe' embedded in the executable. This program is written is C and what it does is list all the functions of a *. dll and return information from them.

The surprise was saying is a file with all functions of the component scilexer.dll I'm writing right now so we can all benefit, you know, one hand washes the other and both hands wash the face.

I feel better, I apologize if I caused trouble!

So compile your C code as a .dll interface and save it to the disk to run it. You could also research AutoIt's Plug-In facility.

None of that answers why saving it to disk to run it is a problem.

I think no one understands what I want.

I just want to know how to run a *. exe embedded into the executable and added to it with the directive: # AutoIt3Wrapper_run_after = ResHacker.exe-add% out%,% out %,......

NO need to save first to a temporar directory, ie run from within the script.

I don't think you understand that there are mainly malicious reasons to do it that way. It is very trivial to include an .exe, save it to disk at run time, and execute it. What you are talking about mainly achieves avoidance of virus scanners and malware detection. Surely you wouldn't be trying to do that, so why is it the .exe can't be put on disk for execution?

Well, I guess I'll be content for now to the implementation of embedded *. exe from outside the script.

Thanks for everything!

I hope to make this script available to the community soon. Thank you!
