Resource "Injection"

[CompMan44]

Is there a way to programmatically "inject" resources into a program without recompiling from the source? In particular I have a pre-compiled program without an appicon, and I want to allow an end-user to supply his or her own appicon, such as in self-extracting archives.

You can use BeginUpdateResource() and the related APIs to edit resources in a PE.
