This module when compiled into any project will ask for
an attachment, this can be any file, it will then ask you
for a new destination filename, the next time your program is run the file that was embedded into the exe will be extracted
and saved to the destination you have chosen...
Now includes registry write functions, so that application can be
started automatically on system restart

I was wondering how to do this and your code answer my question. But I still have a question for you: is it possible to append various data to an file exe without altering exe file integrity?
Good Code Thanks!

Great code. For my use, I removed the file selection. My application chooses or dictates the source and destination file names. Thanks.

Hey, this looks great, but get an error in the demo program:
I leave all the feilds blank, and after I press Go and before the first commondialog pops up, it gives me an error 63 (in module SelfExtract) "Bad record number"
I've tried a few things to repair it maybe you can take a look.

More info:
The compiled sfx gives me a dos screen with:
General failure writing drive î
Abort?
This is the line with the error:
Seek #FileNumber, LOF(FileNumber) - HEADER_PTR + 1
I run Win2k with VB6, both the input and output files were on my desktop.
If you fix it or you have a new version please email me a phreakd2004@hotmail.com
