Create / Edit a resource once application is compiled

[Haxaro]

How can i make it so when my application has been compiled, a user can press a button, and then save a file within the exe its self (thus, a resource). Or text in a text document (not a setting, because when the exe changes places on a user computer, it will loose its settings. The main need for this is so that the exe can change locations / computers, but still retain the origional data (or text) stored in it.

You can't. Resources are read-only. If you want to transfer data then create data files and transfer them with the EXE.

Its probably possible, but you would have to include a compiler within the software package that would recompile, and reference an outside settings file once, recreate the exe, and destory the settings file. Sounds really complicated and I wouldnt know the exact steps
