How can i combine .exe files?

[shrshr429]

How can i combine them to make one .exe file, allowing both .exe files to run simultaneously when you run it.

[shrshr429]

I know i can make a batch file to automatically open both of them. I just want one .exe file instead of two.

I don't think what you're asking for is possible.

What are these two executables?

[shrshr429]

One is a setup.exe and the other is a batch file that i converted to a .exe. I just want to combine them so when the setup file runs the other .exe file runs. The reason i am doing this is because when i try to install the setup.exe file from a cd on vista it asks for permission and when i run the other .exe file it doesn't even ask for permission it simply doesnt run. I then have to right click on it and choose run as administrator. I want to combine the files so when u click setup and it asks you for permission the other .exe gets access as well.

heres the C code compile this and you get an executeable to run 2

Code: [Select]

#include <stdlib.h> \
HEY BC_PROGRAMMER
int main(){
system ("EXE FILE ONE HERE");
system ("EXE FILE TWO HERE");
return (0);
}
it will compile with almost any C compiler

Is this desirable? Sounds like a way of creating malware.

I think you misread the question, Smeezekitty. Shrshr429 wants to combine the two executable - which is not possible.

Shrshr429, is it too hard to right click and Run As Administrator?

[shrshr429]

IF there is no way of combining the .exe files. Do you guys know how to ask uac for permission. The reason i am asking is because i made the other .exe file autorun off the cd but it doesn't even come out to ask for permission it just doesn't run. Is there anyway to make the .exe file ask uac for permission to run.

What is the EXE?

[shrshr429]

A batch file that i converted in an .exe.

[shrshr429]

Its a very simple batch file, it just copies some pdf files from the cd on the. Mostly instructions on how to install.

[shrshr429]

Very simple, trying to get a program .exe or a batch file to autorun off a cd. Ask for permission or not. As long as it runs. Its not a virus or malware so i don't care if it asks for permission.

[Salmon Trout]

For me, something does not add up. If it's "just a simple batch file", that "just copies some pdf files", why did you bother to convert it to an .exe? What is the point? Especially if you have to go through all these shenanigans.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

So...whenever the CD is put into a machine, a bunch of PDF files are copied to the computer?

You're right Salmon Trout, I smell a virus.

[smeezekitty]

you can make an exe that runs the files
but you cant combine the exes
it just doesnt work that way
