copy a embedded resource in to HDD

[demetron]

I am actually making some kind of patch or you can say update application, so there is a *.exe file which i added as resource(embedded). Now I want when I compile and run the program and click patch the *.exe file copy to a specified
location with overwrite capable.

Hello.

First of all, it's not necessary to write the whole post in bold...it's just annoying.
Second, look at the Type as which the .exe is saved, it's a Byte-Array. Means that all you have to do is open a StreamWriter/FileWriter and feed him with the Resource (My.Resources.yourExeFile).
