Start an embedded Exe file with Parameters

[badzox]

Hi,

with the Resources.au3 UDF File it is possible to use embedded files without extracting them to an temporary folder.

How can i start an embedded Exe file with parameters ?

I tried

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=test.exe, Test,0

run (Test & " parameters")

What is wrong ??

Sorry, by posting this messages the server showed an internal error. now this posting existis 3 times

I wondering why this is not possible.

Mean this, i have to use fileinstall to extract the exe file to an temporay folder ?

Yes, but u can then hard code a file delete after you are done with the exe or program.

you cannot do this. the only way to do is fileinstall, or write an embedded HEX string, then write binary to a file

there is a reason why exe files cannot be embedded and started Internally!!. use internal functions or dll calls if you want to use something internal

I can confirm that it's not possible to start new EXE process directly from memory. It's Windows limitation.

You can use FileInstall() or _ResourceSaveToFile() from my resources UDF which has the same effect - creates file on disk.

Then use Run() with disk saved EXE file and finally delete EXE file (after process finishes).
