Run data from inside a file without having it stored on the Hard Drive

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I started this topic because I want to ask you if it is possible to run the data from inside of a file without needing to have that file stored on the Hard Drive. 

Let's assume we've got a file named "program.exe". Is there any method to run the content from inside of the file without needing to have it stored somewhere on my HDD? 

Normally to run the file I use the function:

ShellExecute("sample.exe")

 

I know, this question might sound strange and illogic but some answers could provide me some help. 

Thanks in advance!

Where is your file named "program.exe" stored then?

You have to transform your exe file in a long binary string and embed it in your script. From there it can be 'executed' without saving it back to disk again. In short it's executed as if it's a function within your main script.
You can see how to do in this post by the guru @trancexx
