Dialog Image Question :S

Nagarules · Post by **Nagarules** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 1:04 am

If i compile this dialog, how can i make it also compile the image into ONE exe....

because i dont want to send my macro with the image seperated

I dont think i explained myself correct :S

EX:
in my dialog macro it says img is at C://...... but if i send the macro to someone else, they wont hhave the image. So what can i do :S?

Why not send the image? Personally, I create an install "bundle" with the necessary image files, INI's, etc...

Because when I send the .exe I want it to be a standalone

Maybe i can host it on my webhost...

You could use a self extracting winzip exe, or a setup builder such as the free Inno Setup: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

Then all the files needed can be bundled together into one .exe for easy installation. Use runs installer and everything gets popped into directory of their choice.
