Run an app that loaded to ram

[A_Fa]

Greetings to all friends. I want to develop an application that decrypt an exe file format and save it in RAM and then run it . Developed application does not allow the save decryption output to a file. To run an exe application that is loaded to RAM I have no idea. Please guide me. Thanks to all friends

As far as I am aware, there is no Windows function that allows you to do this. The LoadLibrary function[^] can load a module from file storage into memory, so that you can execute it directly, but there is no facility for loading direct from RAM.

Windows, like most modern operating systems, uses virtual memory to execute a program. In this scheme, only data that needs to be modified is loaded into RAM. Read-only data and code are directly mapped from disk and not loaded into RAM. The best that you can do is create a RAM disk and save the output to a file on the RAM disk. To a program, this RAM disk would be very similar to an ordinary disk drive. Here is a list of of available RAM drive software - List of RAM drive software[^]
