    How can i combine .exe files?
    « on: August 23, 2009, 12:10:47 AM »
    How can i combine them to make one .exe file, allowing both .exe files to run simultaneously when you run it.

      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?

        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?

          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.

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

                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.

                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.

                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.

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

                  Now will Vista ask the user permission to run every single .exe file or just the first one. Only reason i am asking is because its pretty annoying to have to give permission 3 consecutive times. Also how would i do that i recently learned alot about creating batch files not .exe files. Do i just create a batch file that runs the programs. Then convert it to an exe file?

                  What?

                  Why create an EXE out of the batch file?

                  What are you trying to get the batch file to run?

                      Nevermind Nevermind i learned (Google). Last question will the new executable file allow permission to the other executable files, if it has permission?

                      This is getting kind of surreal. Can you imagine a forum called "AirtravelHope" where somebody asks "How can I disguise a bottle of shampoo so it looks like a digital camera to the baggage scanner? I want to be able to wash my hair during the flight." Or a forum called "HouseAndGardenHope" where somebody asks "How can I open my neighbour's front door without the key? It's his birthday but he's out of town and I want to leave a lovely cake in his kitchen."

                        Yea really a guy asking on a forum called "ComputerHope" where somebody ask "How can i combine .exe files?" which is obviously in no one relevant to computers. Salmon are you trying to be an *censored* or do you just have a nature act for it. You haven't provide one bit of relative informative on this subject. All you've done is annoy me and ask irrelevant question. The only real help is from Carbon Dudeoxide and smeezekitty which i thank. Do you guys have any life besides accusing people of creating a virus? I can careless what you think i am doing, if you don't want to provide me help because you think i am creating a virus then don't. Instead of posting simply immature comments. The CD install an adobe product and the pdf files provide the instructions in different languages. My program simply makes it easier to install the program and the pdf files. Yea what could i have been thinking asking for help clearly stating I DON"T CARE IF IT ASKS FOR PERMISSION, man that sounds exactly something i would want for my virus. Real Smart Guys. Thanks Carbon and smeezekitty you guys are why i ask question on the site. I do understand you starting to think this is a virus because of the question i am asking. But if you could provide me with a method that only asks for permission i would gladly use that.

                          I truly don't know what to say to try and persuade you that i am not creating a virus or malware. I have never even attempted to create a virus and if i did i think i would know this basic information if i even had the knowledge to develop a virus. I hate viruses and i hate any malware, if you think i am developing a virus then don't help me and stop posting unhelpful posts.

                            My god Salmon, i actually thought you'd have more to say. Great comeback there. Man i must be the best programmer in the world, developing a virus that downloads not only visibly to the user but gets permission right from UAC. Pretty impressive i know.

                              i believe you are not tring to make anything malicious
                              but the only way i can think of doing that is with batch or C programming
                              you cannot just combine to executeables (well you could but it would not work)
                              also you may need an autorun.inf or autorun.ini file
                              stay calm shrshr429 just ignore salmon

                                Thanks Smeezekitty, Ive just been working on this crap for over 2 months and its starting to get really annoying. I created the autorun.inf it works perfectly the file actually tries runs the only problem is it doesn't ask for permission so it doesn't work. I'm wondering is there anyway to make UAC ask the user to allow permission. The reason i am asking is because i can make an exe file that will open the other exe files but i doubt it will work because UAC wont ask the user for permission to run it and it simple won't run posing me with the exact same problem.

                                if its xp or vista the autorun should prompt if you want to run it anyway
                                you could always create your own prompt in batch or C
                                but that mey take some work

                                   Well both really, I'm running xp so it works no problem. But, my brother is running Windows 7 so it poses a problem. I was thinking is there a way to make an .exe file open up another .exe after it opens. For example open up setup.exe after you get access and then it'll automatically open up the other .exe, don't care if it asks the other .exe file for permission. I just want them both to autorun instead of having the user to navigate throughout the cd to find the file.

                                  i assume what you want to do is
                                  ask permission
                                  run one program
                                  run another program
                                  i will be back to post how to do it

                                    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.

                                           My brother is running Windows 7 and doesnt want to stop like i stated
                                        A program that disconnects you from the internet.
                                           When installing a new firewall program you should disconenct from the      internet.
                                        How can i allow a batch file administrator permission?
                                           Same thing as where this most is at.
                                        How can I make a vbscript run a .bat file invisibly off a cd?
                                           Don't want a disgusting Black Box on the screen everytime the software runs, great way to run a virus, i love how the .bat file wont run without permission.
                                        How can I make a vbscript run a .bat file invisibly off a cd?
                                           I just wanted to run how to write on text through cmd.

                                        I think its funny how to try to persuade everyone that im developing a virus where you instead proved me right when i stated you must be on a dry spell and not have much of a life by actually researching my entire history on this site.

                                        As for my anger, I've been working on this project for over 2 months now have had to learn about autoruning .isos batch files .exe, so yea i think i would have a bit of a temper when someone accuses all my hard work to me developing a virus. Wow Salmon you must really have absolutely no life if your spending all you time trying to accuse me of developing a virus. Quite the ladies man i can see.   

                                        I really don't know why this forum in particular thinks poorly of everyone.
                                        For example, i posted up the exact same question on other forums. I received a simple answer irrelevant question, or stating they think its a virus. 

                                        Take a look for yourself:

                                        http://www.computerforum.com/158200-how-can-i-combine-exe-files.html#post1307137

                                        Man those guys must be thinking the same thing you are. Gotta' be a virus, should probably help him out though.

                                          Are you seriously picking on why i was so interested in TimerNuke, for the record it doesn't even work for RC so it doesn't matter anyway. Let me ask you a question Salmon. Have you ever downloaded music from the internet?

                                          WHAT YOU HAVE?!?!?! THATS ILLEGAL.

                                          Man what would God say about that.

                                          What we do is one thing, and what we post about and advise on here is quite another, bearing in mind issues to do with legality and responsibility.

                                            So how is asking how i can combine .exe files or how i can make UAC the user permission to access a file an issue of legality. How does that in any way sound like i am developing a virus? And according to what you just posted you believe what we do is complete irrevalant to what we post here and what we advise here, at that note who cares what i do. It's all about what i post and what advise i get.

                                              Your calling me rude, your the one who out of nowhere begins to accuse me of creating a virus. Your the one who accuses me of breaking the law, with no proof. And im the rude one.
