How to create an .exe from my own program

[Atom]

Hi, I need to create standalone .exe files from my own program. An .exe will simply play back a small video file when opened. This .exe needs to be independant and can't rely on the video file being seperate, it must somehow be embedded in the .exe (as a resource maybe). Many Thanks.

I would need to experiment, but you should be able to include it as an external binary source file in your resource file. If you do that then it becomes part of the program and you can access it through a resource ID. In VC 6.0 it would be as simple as selecting include external source file from a drop down menu, in .NET I have no idea.
