Winrar Self Extracting Safe How To Distribute Many

The update was supposed to log on to administrator account and update required files (so we came across identical problem: how to distribute many files as a single executable).The solution were file resources in C#. I used the following technique once, when we needed to distribute updates for the application, but the computers were configured so that the end user had no permissions to change application files. There is nothing wrong with doing this? Is there a better way? I'm targeting windows and can use the C# compiler to help but i don't know how much extra work or how difficult it may be programmatically and maybe adding data to end of exe isnt bad?It is possible. Well it IS the 7z.sfx file but with a regular 7z archive appended. Except this one which is asking something else Self-extracting self-checking executable-edit- I made two self extracting with 7z and compared them.

In program you can simply extract resource as file:System.IO.FileStream file = new System.IO.FileStream('C:\PathToFile',System.IO.BinaryWriter writer = new System.IO.BinaryWriter(file) Writer.Write(UpdateApplication.Data.DataValue, 0, UpdateApplication.Data.DataValue.Length) (Here UpdateApplication.Data denotes binary resource).Our solution lacked compression, but I believe this is easily achieved with libraries such as C#ZipLib.I hope this solution is virus-scanner-safe, as this method creates complete, valid executable file. You can easily add existing files as byte resources. Add new resource of type 'file'.
