Instead why dont you import the files as custom resource into your installer, then at installation use the resource handling functions to load and write it to the harddisk.

You can do it, as the other poster said, by shoving your files into resources in your EXE. You might be better off getting a commercial package that creates self-extracting ZIP files (I think WinZip can do this but I'm not sure. I know there are others.) Remember, even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.
