Making Self-Decrypting EXE file
Hi,
I want to make an Encryption/Decryption program. I want that my program should make a Self-Decrypting EXE file. If this file is run, it should ask password and then extract the original file.
Please suggest from where I can get detailed information on this.
I'm not real sure if this site will help you, but they are a well known encryption/security solutions provider.

like winzip does? hmm...
create a huge array, and assign a program file to it. you might want another program to hard-wire the data into your source code. before you do that, you probably want to encrypt it first.
An idea:
First is could encrypt the data, then you're program should make an program (exe-file). This program should have a pointer to the encrypted data and should know how to decrypt it and then write it to a new file.
The following two links are about self-extractors, I know it is not exactly what you want. But maybe it gives an idea of about how it could be done.
